I would bring the Addiesdive SD-1970 for the express purpose of testing a $70 Chinese dive watch. I would also bring the G-Shock 5600B and the Citizen world timer would be my wild card. It’s different enough to be a wild card.
I'm also headed to Europe from the U.S. for three weeks this summer. I have place for 6 watches. I am planning on taking the following; Citizen Promaster Ecodrive GMT Worldtime (same watch you have but with a blue dial and a sailcloth strap) - so if I was you (which essentially i will be) the Citizen is DEFINITELY coming, Red Orient Kamasu, Green RDUNAE R3 Compressor, Seestern Doxa homage, San Martin SN039 in Blue, Bronze Steeldive Blancpain Fifty-fathoms homage and the last is undecided also torn with a digital (although my Citizen could act in that capacity) maybe a Casio DW5600 or Protrek triple sensor for hiking in the Alps? Also debated my Casio Worldtime but I am taking the Citizen. I know that is 7 watches but the Casio could just be tossed into the carry on.
I will definitely have my Addiesdive Willard as I have done on every break since buying.I will also take my Citizen eco drive world timer and my Mitch Mason Chronicle for more dressy use.
03:08 "... i have narrowed it down to 4 watches" (spoiler alert: SOTC is next...! 😂). - Always take the Casio Royale on trips, you have a map in front of you all the time, won't get lost... 😋. - A solar (ecodrive, wtf!) works everywhere... ok, maybe not in those moody, cloudy islands you're at, but anywhere else! 😜 - That CW bracelet extension is awesome for trips, will be needed for sure. What? You're back already? So? Which ones did you take? All well? Missed any? 😉😂😂 PS Isn't it funny that we do this every time we travel, always not sure what to get, always unsatisfied of what we have and maybe come back just to realise we didn't take that... or that one... or that... fuck, i need to get down to a (max!) 3 watch collection.
This went in my To Be Reviewed for some reason, only just saw now! The suprise watch will be revealed Monday at 1800 Irish time, The Citizen mad with, the CW chrono, and the Captain Willard homage. I also picked up another on holidays, something a little bit tasty 😋
The GW-B5600 is far superior spec wise but I would still go for the DW-5750E due to it having a positive display (I am not a fan of the legibility of negative displays, they look sick though) and it is less of a loss if something happens to it during the bustle of travel. The AE1200WH is always a good choice (inexpensive, easy to replace, looks great, 100 meters water resistance) but, once again, is bested by the DW-5750E due to durability.
I ended up going for the B5600, I left the DW5750 at home in the gym as that's where I wear it most. The B5600 easily survived the volcanic springs, mud baths and usual water outings, as I knew it would 😎

Can't be going away without a GShock. I usually side with a square, DW5600.

Addiesdive, GS5600B and whatever dress watch you are holding back on. 😀

Have a great holiday whatever you wear.

Keeping an eye out for a cheap one.
