I'm watchiing this on holiday myself, Hamilton Cooper for dressed up, white orient kamasu for beach and a casio edifice ECB-900DB-1AER for travelung about. Great video as always 😘
How much beating, exploring do people do? It's a holiday, lie beside the pool and on the beach, soaking up the sun, eating burgers and drinking lots of 🍺
Love this video...and timely! For vacation I also chose the Casioak. A perfect watch for the pool, beach and hiking. Second was the Bulova Lunar Pilot. I also brought the pure rubber orange strap. My third was my Lorier Neptune. I too wore the Casioak the most. I left home my Panerai Black Seal, Omega Speedmaster Professional and Rolex Datejust (from 1969). I'm nervous about bringing expensive watches on the road and vacation. Plus the three that I brought bring me just as much pleasure. Not sure why, but the Casioak brings a beaming smile to my face...just like your videos do.
The last vacation I also brought 3 watches: GBX-100 blue as a beater, Seiko Sumo Green as a Dive and Exporer and Seiko SharpEndge Blue as a dinner watch :)
On my vacation, I used the blue Casio duro as the do-all beater, the Seiko SARB017 Alpinist as the run-around field watch, and my Straton comp driver as a dressy yet sporty dinner watch.
I went on vacation last week. I only took my GMWB5000 G Shock. It was nice not having to think about watches for a few days. Didn’t have to worry about getting other ones lost or stolen. Liberating.
My daily during cold weather is a Duro. My dress watch is a Citizen Eco Drive Pro Master. My daily at the moment is a Casio A-500, but I had some issues with it recently--I managed to fix it, but now there's crud and fingerprints inside the glass. Fortunately, during its down-time, I ordered my very first automatic watch, an Invicta Pro Diver with a blue dial. Gorgeous thing, can't wait to get my hands on it.
Nice choices Russ. Three weeks ago,we My wife,myself and our 3 kids,all bundled ourselves off to New York for a 4 day ‘site seeing’ expedition. Apart from the American break turning into something from National Lampoons Holiday Vacation, “Get in the car,Rusty!”… I chose my Casio GA2100 for the whole trip to make sure that we got to our destinations at the right time. Never missed a beat,great watch. Love your metal version. Stay wellllllllllllll.
On holiday right now, and I decided to do it all with one watch. I took the blue Longines Spirit Zulu Time to Yellowstone on a blue, orange and white zulu strap. Perfect for keeping track of time at the office, exploring, and swimming.
I had a Garmin fenix 7 for wandering, Breitling Superocean 42 orange dial for the pool and a Zenith Defy black ceramic for fancy dinnering with me to Portugal last month👍
I am going for holiday in a 2 days and my weapon of choice are: Beater G-Shock DW-5600, Explorer Citizen Promaster diver Eco drive (blue dial) and Diner G-Shock GM-2100-MG-1AER (moon).
I took my GS SBGN003 on our first holiday since the world went on it's head and was also my daughters first holiday abroad. Mine is definitely staying with me too. That was the beater/daily wearer then evening watch was the Tudor BB 58 Bronze.
Recently went on a holiday and my only watch was my recently acquired Casio EFV-130D. I specifically bought it because it's a 100m wr with a screw down crown and caseback, plus a beautiful sunburst dial. Like a Duro but in the Edifice range
Great video - my 3 watches for a holiday in Turkey recently: 1. Tudor BB GMT - Beach and Pool 2. Rolex Sea Dweller - Diving 3. Rolex Datejust - Dress and Diner Feel like a bit of a bellend now….🤣
The Casio Royale is my go to holiday watch... I wear it in the sea, the pool, out & about, and at dinner. We went swimming with dolphins, and the instructor noticed it on my wrist and asked me to bring him one the next time I'm in Cuba and he'd pay me back. Needless to say, I gave mine to him off of my wrist. I ordered a replacement as soon as I got home, but I quite like the idea of someone in Cuba wearing my Casio Royale whilst swimming with dolphins. 🙂
My 3 watches holly day collection is as follows, my beater is a Steinhart Ocean Star GMT Titanium, my explorer is my Omega Seamaster Professional and my dining is my Certina big date DS 60th Anniversary! Greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
Good choices and excellent timing as I'm off on hols to Corfu on Tuesday. I was going to take two watches, but you've convinced me I need three! My choices: Beater, fresh out of the box Casio GBD-200-2ER, explorer - Seiko Black Series 1968 recreation SPB255 on the rubber strap, and diner is my 39.5mm Omega Planet Ocean.
Great collection there Russ. If I had to choose the 3 for those same categories it would be my G-shock GW-B5600 as the beater, Seiko Flightmaster as the exploring, and my Lorier Neptune for a touch of that Bond Submariner 6538 at the casino!!
Beautiful Carpenter Bee! It has the most wonderful dark blue hue and - at least it's my experience from my own garden - it's absolutely harmless... As for the 3-watch holiday collection, you couldn't go wrong with your choices.
glad you enjoyed your holiday. I cool question/exercise. And I think I could at different times pick different watches. Right now I'd say the dinner/dresser would be the Omega Aqua Terra, the explorer would be my Doxa 300t Divingstart and my beater would be an Invicta Venom. Go ahead and mock the Invicta but its a cool design IMO and not an expensive piece so you don't mind getting it dirty, wet, etc.
Good choices, love that Sinn! My choices out of my small collection would be: Beater: G-Shock 5610 Casual: ISL-20 38mm dual-time diver Dress: ISL-38 38mm SARB/DateJust homage. This trio has served me from the gym, to fancy restaurants, and everything in between.
I usually just go with 2. GShock GW6900 as the beater and the Seiko Alpinist SARB017 for everything else. If there's a lot of water (lake/ocean) involved, then I bring a diver, too.
Hi MWC, Loved to see you chuffed to bits in your vacation - great choices were made there. I’d go for a SPB209, the golden brown Alpinist. A Nomos Ahoi Date Ref. 554 with a bright blue dial. And the new New York Harbor LE from Oris, that light olive mother of pearl will be a stunner. This ensemble is a three piece collection, we’re each peach can do all of the jobs yet they are completely different. Now to the bug: It’s an carpenter bee, so your guess was actually kinda correct. They are not just beautiful with their blacked out/blue chrome look, they are also super chill and help the fauna big time. Ok ciao
Another great video, thanks 👍 I recon an SKX on a jubilee could fill all three roles (007 or 013 depending on your wrist and preferences) and make a great holiday watch. But assigning roles to watches is very fun... and definitively a trap since it tends to legitimate all those purchases ^^
Great collection! I would take DW5600 as a beater. Explorer: trusty SKX Pepsi. Diner: Hamilton khaki with subtle black dial, not very dressy, but slim and versatile. But actually SKX can do it all :D
From my humble around 20 watches collection (mostly dive watches) I would choose... The beater : Casio GW-9400SRJ-4ER The Explorer : Seiko 5 Sports "Atlas" SKZ217 The Diner : Orient Thai Limited Edition CEX0W001B0 Well, it could be all in one : Seiko SBDC003 But there will be no fun with only one watch !😀 Talking about fun, I like the style of your videos 🙃👍🏻
My explorer is the same watch I have used abroad for the last 4 years and that the Longine VHP GMT using flash technology to set the different time zones , this would also do as the diner and so the only other watch I have ( beater) would be the Casio G Shock G Lide GBX-100😀🤩
Glad to see you had a great vacation :D A few years ago when on vacation, I used take my Milgauss ZBlue, IWC 7day, and a gshock. That’s changed to a Tissot T-Race MotoGP, a gshock, and my IWC for when we dress up. I’m not trying to get robbed in an unknown city, lol.
You’re lucky having a Milgauss. I made enquiries and was told I had to make an appointment to put my name on a list. So I took the cash and bought a Khaki Field automatic which wears nicely on a grey Perlon, and a motorcycle.
A trio of Seiko’s for. Orange Monster for poolside. Padi Samurai for daytime and Shu Iro for evening. Wear all three every day 😁 no Seiko samba needed. 👍
Thank you for a fun review Russell. My wife and I went to Maui, Hawaii last week and it just so happens I took three watches. I took my Casio DW5600 G-Shock (pool & beach watch), my Casio AE1200-WH (my daughter is in Japan and what easier way to keep track of the time where we are both at) and my Seiko King Turtle. I have about 100 watches in my collection but decided to leave my nicer watches at home on this go around so..... Again, thank you for a great video. You always make it fun.
Great show! Great choices! My choices are: Beater: Casio G-Shock G-5600UE 🦾 Explorer: VAER C5 Traditional Black Ameriquartz on a Horween leather strap 😊 The posh one 😅: Rolex Milgauss on an orange rubber strap
Hey Russ love your vacation collection. I would my captain Willard as my rugged beater. Obviously my mini turtle 🐢 for exploring and then most diners will be enjoyed with my C65 vintage diver cheers
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR you scared me with the 15 second comment. That Grand Seiko is on my wish list. By the way, I just ran into your videos and they are quite fun and different. Lot of personality.
My choices are Citizen Promaster for beater, Omega Seamaster 300m for beach, Ulysse Nardin marine torpilleur for nite out. Love your collection though!
Lovely choices...I had this dilemma gping to paris last week..I could not decide so I ended up wearing my casioak only..which in fairness covered everything including gmt...
Oh that GS GMT is one of my all time favourite Grand Seikos! Such a cool watch and it looks absolutely perfect on your wrist russ! Hope you had the most amazing time EVER on your holiday!
I normally only take two watches on my Jolly-days. I take my Garmin Fenix 7 Solar (or earlier models going back 5 or 6 years), it’s great in the water, on the beach and for exploring as I can save a GPS position for the car/hotel/bus stop etc, go walking around the town and find my way back. This has proved invaluable in a few countries when I’m been in a cab and trying to get the cab driver to take me back to my hotel. My second watch is my Omega Seamaster 300m Diver, it’s just lovely to wear. If I’m on a dive holiday, then I also take my Shearwater Teric, another digital watch but also a full dive computer.
Mad respect for the Mad Watch Collector for getting along with only three time pieces! My watch roll can take 5 so i'm always tempted to add just one more watch... My triplet would be a GBD-200 in lime-green as pool watch, a Squale 1521 as Explorer because i love how the sun plays with the dial and my build of a SPB213 hommage as dining watch. As a joker (remember, 5 slots!) i'd bring a Pagani Explorer clone or my Lorier Neptune I just to have blue backup and some straps to fill #5.
My three-watch holiday collection: Beater: Sinn 104 Explorer: Doxa Sub 300T Diner: Nomos Orion 35 If I could only have one for all three jobs: the Sinn 104.
I'm from South Africa. Heading to work on cruise ships soon and have to pick 3 to take with. I'm leaving my Tudor BB Black ETA safe and soundly at home I think. Beater will be Gshock DW5600, traveler will be one of the two homage GMTs...either Parnis polar gmt or Pagani Design Batman homage and my formal one will be my vintage 1945 Rolex OP Golden Egg
My holiday watch is the Omega Seamaster. I just use the one watch on holiday. At home I have a Rolex Submariner that I use for dressy occasions and my beater at home is a Hamilton Khaki mechanical.
Nice collection...I'm sure you had a great time! A G-Shock is an obvious choice, although I'm not a CasiOak fan: I take my 5600BB as my beater. And I love my blue Orient Ray II as explorer and diner rolled into one. Depending on my mood, I might switch it up for the red Kamasu. Either can go almost anywhere. Usually on vacation I don't need anything much dressier--but love your diner choice! Thanks for another great vid, I always enjoy them!
Just back from Corfu...I took my yellow Casio GA2100, Orient Ray 2, and I bought that cheap Accurist diver (one with the orange strap) as the beach beater, plus my Alpha explorer homage for evenings. Nothing that cost too much money in case I lost a case or smashed it up after some Mythos!! 🤣
Loved the video! This very much depends on the location but my three would usually be Beater: Apple Watch. Just don't care about it. Explorer: GMT Master II - I've had it for 6 years and it's been all over the world with me! (I'm beginning to worry about travelling with it nowadays though) Dinner: Patek Travel Time 5134J - Very dressy and flies under the radar but perfect for dinner. If it's too formal or bling then I revert back to GMT!
Glad you enjoyed your holiday mate and a very well thought out trio to accompany you there. My three would be Sary057 for formal, boggo standard casioak for the beater/explorer and monster for the pool
Currently on holidays. Only 2 watches: G-Shock GW B5600 most of the time (swimming pool, beach, surfing). Datejust 116200 for café, bar, restaurant. Last year was G-Shock G8100 Tank Must 2021 Explorer 114270
Basically my holiday collection is my actual collection. Beater is my Duro, proudly self modded with sapphire for extra beatings. Explorer is my Casioak. It's just lighter, but the Duro and the Casioak are interchangeable really. Diner is my Hamilton Khaki Auto. Such a pretty face for essentially a field watch.
Helm Miyako for the diner, Citizen Blue Angels on the rubber/leather strap for exploring, and the Vostok Amphibia for a beater (ive bashed it against rocks without issue during a near accident while rafting). Im going away for 4 months for work so these are the picks! Will bring a Casio AE1200 as well.
Hi Russ. Looks like you had a great holiday. Am on countdown for two weeks away in August. Thinking 2 to 3 watches for me. Casio 5610 all day long as a beater. Metal gm2100 for exploring (my fav watch like u at moment). As for the dinning watch, this is were am struggling. Don't want to take owt too valuable away, so thinking my Seiko 5, might change mind later.
Ha ha ha, absolutely brilliant! Hope you and the family had a superb holiday Russ. Love that Sinn underwater shot was incredibly, loved it. Take care fella.
Very nice and well thought out choices! I'm on hols in France at the moment and my first choice is my Casio mrg-b1000d...it's titanium so super light to wear and can be sort of dressy too. Also has dual time zone/solar/bluetooth etc so super convenient for different time zones. Second was my Omega SMP 300 on rubber for evenings out. Third was my Tag F1 quartz on rubber for out and about during the daytime. Had to pack a fourth which was my Casio Edifice Alpha Tauri edition and of course a beater fifth which was my Citizen Promaster Eco-Drive Diver. At the airport my carry on bag was checked and the lady asked me why I had so many watches, I told her it was nothing she should watch some of those crazy guys on youtube 😂
Top notch, as usual. On Vaca (I believe you say holiday in The UK) I usually do 2 watches: The all purpose pool/beach/running watch: which is of course the G-shock Dw5600 And a nice mechanical for evening attire: PRX, Lorier Neptune, Bambino, Mako2
I used the omega planet ocean good planet gmt as the watch that does almost everything while I travel. Still bring a gshock for the gym and the beach. It feels classy but not going to attract the type of attention that will get me robbed, and it feels like a tough watch that can take a few dings. A small bit out of place in a suit, but I’m on holiday!
Enjoyed that…for me my holiday action watch would also be my Casioak 2100, but in stealth look….my explorer would be my Steeldive Capt Willard in bronze…and my dress watch would be my Squale 1521 blue blasted ocean…or my Shoreham Monmouth..as I rarely wear it
You could've covered all three categories with the metal G-shock alone. But I change my watch at least twice a day when I'm home on my days off so I understand. 😬 I'm going on vacation this week myself, my sand color GA2100 will cover all my needs.
Interesting choices! Mine: Rolex Oyster Perp. 34 mm white dial for dining, Smiths PRS-48 Navigator (looks just like an IWC Mk. XI: 36 mm, manual wind, 100M WR) for out and about, Tudor Black Bay 58 blue dial for on the water/by the pool. No beater, I'm quite careful.
I'm watchiing this on holiday myself, Hamilton Cooper for dressed up, white orient kamasu for beach and a casio edifice ECB-900DB-1AER for travelung about. Great video as always 😘
Thanks Lola! Great choices!!
Great selection Russ. For me it’s the 5610 G shock for beating, the seiko mini turtle for exploring and the Tossit I mean Tissot PRX 35mm
Hahahaha well it’s a top selection Phil! Toss nothing there!;)
How much beating, exploring do people do? It's a holiday, lie beside the pool and on the beach, soaking up the sun, eating burgers and drinking lots of 🍺
I bought the larger quartz prx with blue dial. Gorgeous piece.
Love it! Absolutely but I wanna wear 3 watches god dammit!!!
Tossit! 😂
Lovely lovely Longines HydroConquest Chronograph (L3.673.4.76) - now that's a REAL STUNNAAAH! Anything else is just luggage :)
Love this video...and timely! For vacation I also chose the Casioak. A perfect watch for the pool, beach and hiking. Second was the Bulova Lunar Pilot. I also brought the pure rubber orange strap. My third was my Lorier Neptune. I too wore the Casioak the most.
I left home my Panerai Black Seal, Omega Speedmaster Professional and Rolex Datejust (from 1969).
I'm nervous about bringing expensive watches on the road and vacation. Plus the three that I brought bring me just as much pleasure. Not sure why, but the Casioak brings a beaming smile to my face...just like your videos do.
Still a superb selection my friend!!!
Agree with the Lorier Neptune. It's why I can't limit myself to 3. I can't leave it behind.
Beater: 5610, explorer: CWC G10 Quartz, Dining, SARB 017. Anyway good to have you back, did MR P , Kirk etc enjoy Crete too!
They had a week off!!!! Cheers Mike!
Absolutely love your choices for the 3 Watch holiday collection. Every base covered and then some! Hope you had a great break MWC ☀️
Thanks Gareth!!! Was great!!! Went too quick!!
Just came back from my holiday. Took my metal G-Shock, King Turtle 2020 Save The Ocean and my Aqua Terra on a leather strap for the evening.
Hope you had fun my friend!

DW-5600 for my beater and Glycine Airman 18 purist as the explorer and dinner watch. This has been my go to travel combination for several years now.
So need an Airman in my collection!!
Embarking on a three week camping holiday on Sunday, and shall be wearing my trusty beater the whole time: Steeldive SD1970W...
Good choice Matt!!
I took my GS SBGN003 on our first holiday since the world went on it's head and was also my daughters first holiday abroad. Mine is definitely staying with me too. That was the beater/daily wearer then evening watch was the Tudor BB 58 Bronze.

Great choices Jamy!
Hi MWC,
Loved to see you chuffed to bits in your vacation - great choices were made there.

I usually travel with 3 watches. I normally choose watches that match the clothes I packed.
I love the GS you took along, it’s really great.
That is some planning my friend!! That’s why I have mostly black dials!!! Go with anything!
Another great video, thanks 👍 I recon an SKX on a jubilee could fill all three roles (007 or 013 depending on your wrist and preferences) and make a great holiday watch. But assigning roles to watches is very fun... and definitively a trap since it tends to legitimate all those purchases ^^
Absolutely agreed with the SKX on the jubilee!
Great collection! I would take DW5600 as a beater. Explorer: trusty SKX Pepsi. Diner: Hamilton khaki with subtle black dial, not very dressy, but slim and versatile.
But actually SKX can do it all :D

My bronze Zelos HH v3 with teal dial is totally my diner watch.
From my humble around 20 watches collection (mostly dive watches) I would choose...
The beater : Casio GW-9400SRJ-4ER
The Explorer : Seiko 5 Sports "Atlas" SKZ217
The Diner : Orient Thai Limited Edition CEX0W001B0
Well, it could be all in one : Seiko SBDC003
But there will be no fun with only one watch !😀 Talking about fun, I like the style of your videos 🙃👍🏻
Thank you my friend!! That’s a great choice of 3!
GW6900, Serica 4512, Echo Neutra Cortina Chrono. Great vid mate, looks like a cracking, Greek-island STUNNNERRR of a hollibobs too
Awesome video. Great choices. 5600 beater, samurai explorer and either zelos swordfish or squale 1521 blue dressy for me 👍
Cheers Gary!! I felt bad not taking the 1521!!!
1) g shock dw5600
2) Invicta diver pro 38mm
3) Orient Tri-Star 38mm gold dial dress watch
Another great video. I really like the concept of “Holiday” collection. You should do more like this.
Thanks Jason!
My three are:
Diner: Hamilton Khaki King
Beater: G-shock 5610
Explorer: Citizen Promaster Tough
Great choices!!!
My explorer is the same watch I have used abroad for the last 4 years and that the Longine VHP GMT using flash technology to set the different time zones , this would also do as the diner and so the only other watch I have ( beater) would be the Casio G Shock G Lide GBX-100😀🤩
Very cool!! A permanent holiday watch! Love that Mal!
Glad to see you had a great vacation :D
A few years ago when on vacation, I used take my Milgauss ZBlue, IWC 7day, and a gshock.
That’s changed to a Tissot T-Race MotoGP, a gshock, and my IWC for when we dress up.
I’m not trying to get robbed in an unknown city, lol.
It’s a great point my friend!
You’re lucky having a Milgauss. I made enquiries and was told I had to make an appointment to put my name on a list. So I took the cash and bought a Khaki Field automatic which wears nicely on a grey Perlon, and a motorcycle.
I reaceantly had a week away and the pool beater was the dw290, explorer spb187 and for dinner wore the sarb 033.
What a selection Simon!!

Beater: Casio G-Shock G-5600UE 🦾
Explorer: VAER C5 Traditional Black Ameriquartz on a Horween leather strap 😊
The posh one 😅: Rolex Milgauss on an orange rubber strap
Excellent!!
Pool beater - Seiko spb147, explorer - Sinn 556a, Dining - Longines Sector Dial
Hey Russ love your vacation collection.
I would my captain Willard as my rugged beater.
Obviously my mini turtle 🐢 for exploring and then most diners will be enjoyed with my C65 vintage diver cheers
Seiko Monster for beta, Hamilton khaki mechanical for explorer and Tudor BBPro for dress would be my pick from my collection 👍👍

Grand Seiko quartz usually are less than 10 sec off pr year. My two has never moved more than 2 secs off in 6 months
Yeah I did a boo-boo there my friend
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR you scared me with the 15 second comment. That Grand Seiko is on my wish list. By the way, I just ran into your videos and they are quite fun and different. Lot of personality.
My choices are Citizen Promaster for beater, Omega Seamaster 300m for beach, Ulysse Nardin marine torpilleur for nite out. Love your collection though!
Cool picks! For me it’s the DW290 Casio, the Yema Superman GMT and the Panerai Luminor 🤩
Lovely choices...I had this dilemma gping to paris last week..I could not decide so I ended up wearing my casioak only..which in fairness covered everything including gmt...
Thank think that was great choice my friend!
Oh that GS GMT is one of my all time favourite Grand Seikos! Such a cool watch and it looks absolutely perfect on your wrist russ! Hope you had the most amazing time EVER on your holiday!
Thanks WG!!! It’s the most comfortable stainless steel watch I own!!!
I'm going to buck the trend and go for a 2 watch collection.
Tudor Black Bay 36 for my dress watch.
Seiko Samurai for everything else.
Great 2 watch selection!
I normally only take two watches on my Jolly-days. I take my Garmin Fenix 7 Solar (or earlier models going back 5 or 6 years), it’s great in the water, on the beach and for exploring as I can save a GPS position for the car/hotel/bus stop etc, go walking around the town and find my way back. This has proved invaluable in a few countries when I’m been in a cab and trying to get the cab driver to take me back to my hotel. My second watch is my Omega Seamaster 300m Diver, it’s just lovely to wear. If I’m on a dive holiday, then I also take my Shearwater Teric, another digital watch but also a full dive computer.
Superb Mark!!! Hope you are well!
Russ fab choices, glad you enjoyed your holibobs
Thank you my friend!!
Mad respect for the Mad Watch Collector for getting along with only three time pieces! My watch roll can take 5 so i'm always tempted to add just one more watch...
My triplet would be a GBD-200 in lime-green as pool watch, a Squale 1521 as Explorer because i love how the sun plays with the dial and my build of a SPB213 hommage as dining watch.
As a joker (remember, 5 slots!) i'd bring a Pagani Explorer clone or my Lorier Neptune I just to have blue backup and some straps to fill #5.
I bought the green metal Casio oak and love it. I think my super dress watch will be a Longines. I'm saving up for a tag heuer monaco, used.
Mate, what a great episode that was. Damn I’m really loving your channel 👍👍👌✌️
Great selection Russ. The Sinn is a beaut.

My three-watch holiday collection:
Beater: Sinn 104
Explorer: Doxa Sub 300T
Diner: Nomos Orion 35
If I could only have one for all three jobs: the Sinn 104.
I'm from South Africa. Heading to work on cruise ships soon and have to pick 3 to take with. I'm leaving my Tudor BB Black ETA safe and soundly at home I think. Beater will be Gshock DW5600, traveler will be one of the two homage GMTs...either Parnis polar gmt or Pagani Design Batman homage and my formal one will be my vintage 1945 Rolex OP Golden Egg
Best of luck Henry!! Great choices!
My holiday watch is the Omega Seamaster. I just use the one watch on holiday. At home I have a Rolex Submariner that I use for dressy occasions and my beater at home is a Hamilton Khaki mechanical.
Nice collection...I'm sure you had a great time! A G-Shock is an obvious choice, although I'm not a CasiOak fan: I take my 5600BB as my beater. And I love my blue Orient Ray II as explorer and diner rolled into one. Depending on my mood, I might switch it up for the red Kamasu. Either can go almost anywhere. Usually on vacation I don't need anything much dressier--but love your diner choice! Thanks for another great vid, I always enjoy them!
Just back from Corfu...I took my yellow Casio GA2100, Orient Ray 2, and I bought that cheap Accurist diver (one with the orange strap) as the beach beater, plus my Alpha explorer homage for evenings. Nothing that cost too much money in case I lost a case or smashed it up after some Mythos!! 🤣
Nice choices, i wore my Grand Seiko SBGF021 to the UK great watches
Loved the video!
This very much depends on the location but my three would usually be
Beater: Apple Watch. Just don't care about it.
Explorer: GMT Master II - I've had it for 6 years and it's been all over the world with me! (I'm beginning to worry about travelling with it nowadays though)
Dinner: Patek Travel Time 5134J - Very dressy and flies under the radar but perfect for dinner. If it's too formal or bling then I revert back to GMT!
Superb selection my friend!
Glad you enjoyed your holiday mate and a very well thought out trio to accompany you there. My three would be Sary057 for formal, boggo standard casioak for the beater/explorer and monster for the pool
Thank you my friend! Appreciate that !! Great choices btw!
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR you're welcome mate. Have a good one
Currently on holidays. Only 2 watches:
G-Shock GW B5600 most of the time (swimming pool, beach, surfing).
Datejust 116200 for café, bar, restaurant.
Last year was
G-Shock G8100
Tank Must 2021
Explorer 114270
Great selection my friend!
Basically my holiday collection is my actual collection. Beater is my Duro, proudly self modded with sapphire for extra beatings. Explorer is my Casioak. It's just lighter, but the Duro and the Casioak are interchangeable really. Diner is my Hamilton Khaki Auto. Such a pretty face for essentially a field watch.
Love this Darren! Superb!
Helm Miyako for the diner, Citizen Blue Angels on the rubber/leather strap for exploring, and the
Vostok Amphibia for a beater (ive bashed it against rocks without issue during a near accident while rafting).
Im going away for 4 months for work so these are the picks! Will bring a Casio AE1200 as well.
Hi Russ. Looks like you had a great holiday. Am on countdown for two weeks away in August. Thinking 2 to 3 watches for me. Casio 5610 all day long as a beater. Metal gm2100 for exploring (my fav watch like u at moment). As for the dinning watch, this is were am struggling. Don't want to take owt too valuable away, so thinking my Seiko 5, might change mind later.
Great choices Ryan!!! Have a great time!!!
I've taken 4 instead of 3 for Cannes holidays , Steeldive Captain Willard, Seiko Mini Turtle PADI, Yema Superman and Timex Q Pepsi colors
Great set of watches José!
Casio Royale on a baby blue rubber strap
Steeldive 1953 Black Sub on a black rubber strap
Orient Bambino 2 Cream Dial on a brown leather strap
Ha ha ha, absolutely brilliant! Hope you and the family had a superb holiday Russ. Love that Sinn underwater shot was incredibly, loved it. Take care fella.
Thank you my friend!
Very nice and well thought out choices! I'm on hols in France at the moment and my first choice is my Casio mrg-b1000d...it's titanium so super light to wear and can be sort of dressy too. Also has dual time zone/solar/bluetooth etc so super convenient for different time zones. Second was my Omega SMP 300 on rubber for evenings out. Third was my Tag F1 quartz on rubber for out and about during the daytime. Had to pack a fourth which was my Casio Edifice Alpha Tauri edition and of course a beater fifth which was my Citizen Promaster Eco-Drive Diver. At the airport my carry on bag was checked and the lady asked me why I had so many watches, I told her it was nothing she should watch some of those crazy guys on youtube 😂
Hahahahahaha well great choices my friend!
Top notch, as usual. On Vaca (I believe you say holiday in The UK) I usually do 2 watches:
The all purpose pool/beach/running watch: which is of course the G-shock Dw5600
And a nice mechanical for evening attire:
PRX, Lorier Neptune, Bambino, Mako2
A great choice of watches my friend! Thank you for watching!
Good list. Well done! From my collection; I’d have done the timex ironman 200m, the orient kamasu (teal), wise adamascus diver (red).
Great set of watches Brett!
I used the omega planet ocean good planet gmt as the watch that does almost everything while I travel. Still bring a gshock for the gym and the beach. It feels classy but not going to attract the type of attention that will get me robbed, and it feels like a tough watch that can take a few dings. A small bit out of place in a suit, but I’m on holiday!
Awesome Vincent!
Enjoyed that…for me my holiday action watch would also be my Casioak 2100, but in stealth look….my explorer would be my Steeldive Capt Willard in bronze…and my dress watch would be my Squale 1521 blue blasted ocean…or my Shoreham Monmouth..as I rarely wear it
I feel like I cheated on my 1521 not bringing him!!!
My 3 choices: Vostok Amphibia Scuba Dude for beating, Casio AE1200 for exploring and GMT, Seiko Presage Cocktail for dinner
Great choices !!
The GS is an absolute stunner of a watch Russ⌚️ which made me want one so bad haha...looks like a beautiful holiday in Crete with the fam also 😍
Beater, must be my old Seiko titanium.
My facy one is perhaps my alpinist gonza, and casual is perhaps my casio w-57 or a-700
You could've covered all three categories with the metal G-shock alone. But I change my watch at least twice a day when I'm home on my days off so I understand. 😬
I'm going on vacation this week myself, my sand color GA2100 will cover all my needs.
Interesting choices! Mine: Rolex Oyster Perp. 34 mm white dial for dining, Smiths PRS-48 Navigator (looks just like an IWC Mk. XI: 36 mm, manual wind, 100M WR) for out and about, Tudor Black Bay 58 blue dial for on the water/by the pool. No beater, I'm quite careful.
A very nice trio.
Beater - Casio Mission impossible
Explorer - Zodiac Seawolf Aquamarine dream
Diner - Omega Seamaster white dial
