Travelin' Man
The campervan is packed (it's called Blue Yonder and you can see it on my profile page), and we're all set to hit the road again tomorrow.
We're heading for Spain for a few months after a six weeks hiatus in England, which means most of my toys (including watches) are packed away until we reach our next booking in a couple of weeks.
But watches are like horses for courses, you may need to change one for another depending on the situation, so I can't pack them all.
The following are what I have whittled my travelling choices down to.
1. The Explorer styled Pagani for... well exploring of course. You never know when a new road, or bar may need investigating. It's both smart and casual and will suit most occasions but ultimately I really want to see if it's as tough as its name suggests.
2. The Seiko Turtle... because its at home in the water and it matches my snorkel perfectly.
3. The G-Shock Stormtrooper because it looks fantastic and keeps an eye on my daily step count.
4. The Timex weekender because... Well, why wouldn't I... it's gorgeous, it's lightweight, will dress well with anything, and if I need to read a book late at night without disturbing Mrs Yonder.. it has Indiglo 🌟
Happy travels 👍
Happy travels 👍
Thank you
Do you own a place too? Or do you live completely "on the road"?
Awesome! Have fun on your trip!
We do own a house (in Scotland), but we rent it out and haven't been back there in 10 years.
We don't live completely on the road though.. We are House Sitters and travel around Europe looking after people's homes and pets when they themselves are away traveling.
We use the van when we are traveling between sits.
Awesome! Have fun on your trip!
Thanks
Nice choices. Travel safely!
Super choice of 'road' watches. What a lifestyle!!! Enjoy, and may your road be straight and clear (and no potholes)
Nice selection of watches! Safe travels!
Great travel watch choices!! Happy, safe travels 🤙❤️
Good choice! Happy travels!
You know a Timex could be added to my collection.... Yours looks great
Great collection to travel with, have a great time in Spain and keep Watching👀😉
My opinion on your first choice: that pagani looks great on that nato, and you’re right, bars need to be investigated, all of them, we all should do that 😂👍🏼👍🏼
Have a safe trip and don’t forget to share photos along the way with your timepieces and the places you visit. Take care 💪🏻
Thanks my friend. As long as I've got wifi or 4/5G I'll keep sharing. I can't give up on my Wristy badge now.. I'm so close 🤣
Yes it will be a pity to loose your badge! I will be supporting you sending 4/5G vibes from Belgium 😅
Your stromtrooper has my ❤️ I'll buy it soon. Damn good 💯💯
😂 but you've already got a nice blue one. 👍
I'm not a big fan of watches that copy others almost exactly, but your Pagani Design really looks sharp on my screen here (of course the others aren't too shabby either).
Your living the dream.
Thanks Brian... I keep thinking I'm going to wake up and it will all end.
But it keeps retirement interesting 😁
Have fun my friend!

Thanks Tom. I accept your feelings on homages/copies, call them what you will, but at the end of the day, they are definitely polarising.
As you can see, I obviously have no problem wearing it, and I do think it looks pretty good.
Unfortunately, I'm already planning on selling it when I come back to the UK in December. As much as I like the watch, it has opened my eyes to a whole world of alternatives and I think I want to try something with a bit more individualistic style now.
Have fun my friend!
Thanks my friend. We're only going as far as Spain this time. But I hope to be back in Italy again someday soon 👍
Nice choices! Stay safe and travel well!!
Thanks Jason.
I've just had a look at your collection. You have some great looking pieces. I also love your profile page drawing 👍
You're all G2G! Enjoy your 4 months in Spain. Looks like a good time of the year to be there.

Thanks Hakki.
Yeah the weather here in England is becoming a bit wild at the moment but I'm hoping the weird weather in Valencia yesterday was just a one off hailstorm 🥶
