I'd take the Navi World as an evening watch and then the B1 for day use. I've never had any trouble with customs and I take 3-5 watches with me on every trip. When I went to Japan 2 months ago (and stayed for 2 months) I brought my SA, my Legende, my CA and a Sjoo Sandstrom (Swedish) - no problems at all.

Yes John - tricky one.

I took all of mine when I went last month - but then I only have 3!

Never had any customs hassle - especially if they're in a travel case etc and not an original box.

Do you want an alarm on holiday? Then B-1 - but it's only good for 30M mind. If no alarm needed then probably the SA - nice.

Then I'd also take the World for evenings. But that's not really helping if you're only taking one.

If one only it has to be the SA I reckon.

There - that really hasn't helped at all - has it?

B1 all day long, ideal for all occasions, but then again, your Rolex is ideal for hols.

How good is the B1 at swimming (just in a pool!)

don't want to risk water ingress but when you think of it, The B1 would be ideal because mine has a UTC and I like a quick-at-a-glance note of the time back home

who here swims with their B1??
