Best Ocean Medallion holder

[tutumomickey]

I detest lanyards. They remind me of work and always seem to be flopping into something. I wear a fitness watch that I don't want to leave behind of vacation and I like my other wrist for bracelets. My husband was able to 3D print a Medallion holder that attaches to my watch band. It was the perfect solution for me.

So important. make sure you never have it near any charge cards or any cards with the magnetic strip. The magnets in the medallion will kill them.

Wow! Thank you for that information! I think a wrist band or clip will be our best bet. Thanks again!

The magnet is very, very weak so there's no worry about demagnetizing your credit cards.

You are very, very wrong. There are 4 strong magnets in the medallion.

You must have a different Medallion than any of the ones we even received. They barely can stick to my refrigerator or a piece of sheet metal.

Another question if anyone knows...when I ordered our medallions (haven't received them yet) ours are Ruby because we have sailed in the past, my brother in laws was Gold and my sister in laws looks like it will be Blue? Why do they have 2 different colors? 

Color depends on your Captain’s Circle status: Blue, gold, ruby, platinum, elite (black).

I do not know what you have. We have ours on the fridge and also use them on the medallion holders sold on ebay which are held on only by the magnets. They do not fall off either.

All of the Medallions they've given out on the last few years are similar.

They all have very weak magnets - just enough to make them hold in their Medallion bracelet but not strong enough to interfere with pacemakers.

My medallion kept coming out and sticking to the metal on the table edge in the French restaurant.

You are not correct and you should not be telling people that they are week magnets. There are 4 small cobalt magnets around the edge of the medallion. Putting it on the fridge and the edge of the medallion is not even touching the fridge or any other metal for that matter. Ever try putting one by the other? You are very very wrong. I have disassembled the medallion and I know for a fact what is in them. I am sure you do not.

Strong magnets? yes!

Take a look on ebay. There are several that are super nice and not expensive at all.

I got these on eBay.

I suppose we'll just have to agree to disagree but leave it up to the individual to decide for themselves at to the strength of them. 

I'll continue to give my opinion as will you but in the end I wouldn't rely on them to use in place of a magnet to adhere to much.

Given the dramatically different experiences between the two of you, I am going to go out on a limb and guess that you each received a different batch, or maybe cruised at different enough times that there has been a change in the strength of the magnets.  Definitely not something to get worked up about.

It isn't unless you're counting on the magnet to hold your Medallion in place so you don't use it. I've read about it happening a few times with some of the aftermarket ones sold on eBay. 

Either way I don't care so much as my husband made our holder and it works perfectly.

Really, what you say can you back it up? Where did you hear about the ones sold on ebay falling off? I would like to read those. Just now you see a few here on CC and they are very happy with them.

MissP22 says the Medallion falls off. Does yours?

What are you thinking ... cage fight?

 

Based on many, many posts I have read here, perhaps the best holder for the medallion

is ... the trash can.

I have not used the helm one yet..bought it for our next sailing. I used the one with the rhinestones for 11 days on the Sky earlier this year.   The only time I had an issue was when I was seated in the French Bistro onboard and the table had a medal rim around it.  Apparently when the medallion tapped the metal rim it "jumped" off and stuck to the table rim.  Kind of funny...but it just made me aware that it could happen.

I said I love it meaning the look of it... I haven't purchased it myself.

So the magnet is strong for sure. Maybe a shorter necklace so it does not hit the table or get into the food.

I'm thought with your meaningless posts.

Look it up yourself.
