actually the best travel watch is a Rolex GMT IMHO.
have you tried winding the date backwards when u go to europe?
a lot of other watches cant do that. or you damage the date mechanism when the hands are in the upper part of the dial.
ok...the next best would be the UN perpetual that can be wound fwd and backwards without issue too. but thats another crazy price.
....so the best has to be the Rolex GMT. very fitting for this forum too
but to the pure businesses traveller, he/she will prob sit in 1st/business.
get picked up by chaufffer at airport. stay in nice hotel. rush to meetings in company location that are very secure etc etc. wont find time to go walk around in the city.
so there is next to no security risk for these guys.
hell some of them even fly in their own jets. and these guys wont give 2 hoots about wearing a 100k watch as a daily beater.
the other group u will see are the "mafia style" eastern europeans. they will slap on a 500k timepiece and walk thru customs. we all know that's likely a way to launder money. they watch companies know it also. but who the heck is going to say anything about it?.... the rest of the thugs sure as hell wont touch the guy cos the retaliation is a death sentence guaranteed.
besides collectors, there is a dark side to very high end watches in this world and what they are used for
sounds familiar - Donald Trump?
To be very fair, how many of us can afford such luxury here?
