So this is my first month away from home being here in Thailand and I brought three watches with me. My Omega SMP 300 chronograph, my Yema Bronze GMT, and the watch I always travel with my Jeager LeCoultre Master Control Hometime. I should be happy to wear any of these watches on any particular day but being away from home I really miss all my other watches, I do find myself wearing the JLC more than the others because I like how it feels on the wrist, the dual time complication and its silky satin silver dial. The Omega I will probably wear it more often when I get to the island next week but the one thing I found is that after wearing my Yema with a tropical rubber strap it is getting less and less wear time, not because of the watch itself but because the tropical rubber strap gets uncomfortable and get sticky on my wrist. I really do miss wearing my other watches and am getting a bit bored with the ones I brought..

Boy oh boy HH, it can’t really get better than that mega cool
hat trick there, that’s for sure ! 😎😎😎 A JLC alone is simply
astounding to have a chance to have on the wrist every day.
With it honestly being the same for the Seamaster, or actually
an Omega. 😉 And the Yema would really be a centerpiece in
a lot of collections too.

However, I can still see why you might be missing your other
watches. I mean we enjoy this hobby for a seemingly infinite
amount of reasons. Not to mention, enjoy countless types of
watches within, and outside of our collections. So it totally
makes sense in what you are saying, or feeling.

Variety is the spice of life right?! 😀

Such a fantastic topic HH, thanks a ton for posting !!!

I hope you really enjoy Thailand by the way sir.

Thank you Tom, you would have been quite the diplomat if you aren't already. you make people want to participate in this forum without the negative comments I see on other watch forums.

If I ever have to away I always miss my watches far more than my wife

I'll send you an Emergency G-Shock if you send me your white faced ⌚.
Ohh, how did that happen? I didn't intend to swap the word watch with a pic.

When away I miss my dog.

You are very very welcome HH, and thank YOU by the way !

It’s funny because I feel the same way as you, but credit you,
and everyone else here for the way the forum is. 😉 I am
just so fortunate to be here with all of you. Not to mention very
happy that all of us discovered this hobby, along with place.
..Here’s hoping we all keep on enjoying !

The temptation is always there especially when I have to walk past the Seiko, Mido, and Rado displays on the way to TOPS market.
