Which dress watch to include with the 3 I’m bringing on vacation?

I’m going to Spain for about two weeks this summer, and I want to bring 3 watches. I’ve pretty much decided on my Longines Spirit Zulu Time as the GMT, my Citizen Eco-Drive diver for an easy beater watch I can take in the pool, and… one of the three “dressier” watches on the left. Orient bambino small seconds, a cream dial Chameri quartz (4 ticks per second) watch I got on AliEx for very cheap but it looks nice, especially on this blue Hirsch lizard strap, and a Duckworth Prestex with a neat case shape and burnt orange dial. Also, what do you think of the other 2 I’m planning to bring? (not just looking for compliments, although feel free, but actually curious what people think!)

I’m honestly leaning towards the Chameri because it’s quartz, so I’d only have to worry about the power level in 1 watch, and could just give the Zulu a few winds on the days I don’t wear it). But don’t let that influence your vote! 😜😂

Nice choices. I'm the person who would be paranoid about getting my watch stolen, so I'd go with a watch that I wouldn't be losing much if it got stolen, that's why I picked the Chameri. Have a great vacation!

I second the Chameri. If you're not gonna use it that much, why bother with setting... unless you like it. In which case, Orient. The Duckworth is nice, but not really formal. Again, unless you're an excentric type. But then, the GMT could serve as a dress watch all the same.

I wouldn't take a Longines for a holiday, because I don't have a Longines...

But the Citizen seems to be the watch for the job. 👌

Bambino-if the maid steals it you’re not out too much

What's there airport customs like if you get challenged and then asked why are you in possession of three watches ? We have watch crunch family from Spain maybe they can help with this question as sometimes travelling with more than one watch can cause problems.
