Traveling across the Pond to Paris and Rome. Should I wear a manual like a 112/005 ext or a auto like the 029 or 382? I'm only taking one. :)

Thoughts?

I was leaning 382 or 029. Maybe even the 243. Never really thought as the bronze standing out as a "rob me" but I def see it..

I'd go with the 29. The 243 or the 382 stand out on the wrist and might attract some "unwanted" attention. I'm paranoid though. The last time I went to Europe, I wore a G-Shock:)

29 and a base rad would be my choices.
Agreed the 382 would be too bling. Enjoy the trip!

I think the 382 would be just fine. In fact I'd take it just to give it some different air/environment for the patina to develop (damn the appeal of bronze). But I'd also consider the 243 and an extra strap to have 2 different looks for one watch.

Wore the 243 for my recent Florence & Rome trip, got some attention especially when you're required to take off your watch when passing thr' the airports checks....

Isn't it illegal to wear replicas in Italy? I think that I read somewhere that it's their domestic not EU wide law. Don't know about France.

So maybe something more modest than 382...

As long as your trip does not include water activities, 029 is the perfect choice.
Enjoy your trip!

you will see ppl sell and wear rep/fake bags, sun glasses verywhere in Italy, I think rep watches should be the least they can identify

it's not illegal to wear or possess reps in EU. no one cares but selling is an issue.

My recommendation goes for 243 as it was my holiday watch together with FC Diver. :)
