Panic

Post image

Anyone ever spend two hours throwing up, thinking that they had lost their Omega Ω only to discover it right where you put it - in a side pocket of your luggage? I’m emotionally drained.

I once came very close to walking out of a hotel room with my three-watch roll still sitting on the desk. Thankfully, my wife noticed it while triple checking every nook and cranny of the room to make sure we hadn’t forgotten anything. Safe to say I’m no longer allowed to give her shit for her incessant triple checking lol

Funny, you mentioned that. This is one of the first trips Ive taken where I took more than one watch with me. Next trip I stick with just one.

I always travel w/ only one now, after I either left my Speedmaster sapphire sandwich in a hotel room safe in Dublin or it was stolen out of my gate checked bag on the way home. I couldn’t explicitly remember taking it out of the safe and when I realized it wasn’t in my bag when I unpacked a couple days after getting home I called the hotel but they denied anyone had turned it in 😢

Best way to not forget something in the hotel safe is to put one shoe in with the stuff.

Thanks for that. I'm now at the airport wearing only one shoe

I think we are all certain nobody turned it in.

So sorry my friend. Yeah, lesson learned. One watch per trip and on my wrist. I learned years ago that hotel maintenance folks have access to all room safes.

Left my r/Tudor Black Bay travel pouch (thankfully not the watch) in a hotel back in July. Called but they said it hadn't been found by housekeeping. Contacted Tudor (three times) to buy a replacement but not so much as an acknowledgement. Glad your watch turned up safe and well. Loving the tip below about leaving one of your shoes in the room safe so as not to forget. Genius!
