I think I've always been curious with possible damage that could be caused to the watch in question but maybe I'm just being paranoid. Recent flight to Frankfurt, I didn't have to take my watch off but my belt I did - Was wearing my gen Seamaster blue.why wouldn't you? Even with Global Entry/TSA Precheck (here in the US)- you cannot have any metal on you when you go through the detector. Unless it is a Moonswatch or a Casio G Shock- you would have to take it off...
interesting they did not make you remove your watch! You must be some double platinum elite flyer with a high government security clearance!I think I've always been curious with possible damage that could be caused to the watch in question but maybe I'm just being paranoid.

Maybe it's US and Europe this? Trust me, I'm no platinum member of anything!! hahainteresting they did not make you remove your watch! You must be some double platinum elite flyer with a high government security clearance!
I usually put my watch in a pocket in my carry-on when going through security.
You definitely do NOT have to take off a watch going through US (or other) security. I've worn my gen Datejust through security for the past 30 years. It hasn't come off once. Metal detector or scanner. Same in Europe and Canada.why wouldn't you? Even with Global Entry/TSA Precheck (here in the US)- you cannot have any metal on you when you go through the detector.

Interesting. They never make me take mine off, and I fly a handful of times every month. I guess because I always go through the body scanner. I am also not pre TSA pre-screened.interesting they did not make you remove your watch! You must be some double platinum elite flyer with a high government security clearance!
