I wouldn't dream on taking my Rolex on holiday even to a posh safe resort and neither would my missus, she does time duty with a cheap pink baby G.

In May 2013 we went to Hong Kong & Australia for 6 weeks (mainly following the B&I Lions) and I decided to take my Casio in place of my RW Freelancer.
2 days in and the Alarm hand fell off and wedges the minute hand solid
In Victoria Market in Melbourne I bought a $20AUD watch off a Chinese guy with s stall and it saw me right through and beyond - kept absolutely perfect time!

About 15 years ago, I totally forgot to take a watch on holiday so bought a cheapy that said it was waterproof to 100m. Turned out to be waterproof for about 5m (that's 5 minutes, not down to 5 metres!)
My relatively cheap Citizen looks more valuable than my Rolex!

just seen this thread ......
if you are thinking about buying a good "expensive" wrist watch, the following are worth looking at
The Tudor Black Bay new at £2,500 is somewhat of a bargain IMHO at the present time if you want a Diver in that price range .....
also the Rolex Explorer ll, 16570 ....... mint and used can be bought for £3,500 ish with box and papers...... if you fancy a Rolex at a reasonable price that will keep it's value - great value
if you fancy "collecting" wrist watches, there are many interesting brands out there in all price ranges, from a few £'s upwards - watch collecting has always been very popular
