    Which watch to take to NYE?

    Hello all, I'm looking for a bit of friendly advice, I'm heading to America for a couple of weeks to visit friends and family, a few days in North Carolina and a few in NYC, all very exciting. However I've finished packing and have one crucial descion to make, which watch to take?! I only want to take one for ease, and my selection is from the photo below, when traveling I ussually go for the aerospace but for some reason I'm not feeling it.

    Let me know what you'd go for and why. Thanks in advance :D

    There are no multiple time zone watches in the collection to classify any as a "travel watch" so, as they're all very similar, I suppose any would do.

    Perhaps it would be better to remove the "which watch to take to NYE" parameter from the post and simply say "which watch in this box do you prefer?".

    I suppose, if one clutched desperately at straws, the speedmaster would win out - as it is a symbol of americas victory in the space race and there are very few yanks who don't like their patriotism and ego to get a good stroke...

    .. I think Id go for the Zenith though - nice splash of colour for on your hols...

    The Aerospace is a multiple time zone watch. I wore mine a lot on my trip to NY and reckon it's as good a bet as any.

    I stand corrected.

    That's the one then surely. A "travel watch".

    Why only one? Choose three, it's easier.

    I pretty much went with Umbongo, but then like Enoch I spotted the Bremont. Take that one

    Last time I went I spent a bit of time in the Breitling boutique on Fifth Ave.
    Superb display of the new stuff, but upstairs is like a mini-museum with tons of vintage pieces in the wall displays (not for sale, sadly!)

    With that in mind I might be tempted to take the Breitling.

    The Omega boutique is a similar affair though, with that watchbox to choose from maybe the vintage diver would turn some heads.

    The Breitling seems like a good fit for a NY trip :)

    Something from the top row. I especially like the ones in the corners.

    A speedmaster or that lovely vintage Seamaster. The rest takes a back seat over those two

    Don't you have a smart phone to check timezones - time for that matter? ;-)

    Put the full box in front of you. Shut your eyes. Count to 10. Open your eyes. Pick the one you want to take.

    I'm with the opinion of take the British watch away with you to the states, when you can't find a good cup of tea or a decent sausage this may help

    The Bremont for me. Dress it up, dress it down, very flexible. Just a shame it's not the MBIII with GMT hand.

    Zenith. Had one, loved it and got loads of comments. Plus, it has some colour.

    Enjoy NY.

    Aerospace is the obvious answer.

    If I'm travelling, but not diving (a rare combination, but that's only because I don't travel much... ) I'd take my B1.

    I like the Zenith though.

    PS Was I the only one to think "Blimey, that's planning ahead!!!!"?
