Default Best ticket for journey from Watford Junction to London zone 1

Hello,

I am thinking of staying in Watford for a couple of days to do some
sightseeing in London. So each morning/evening I will travel once
to/from London zone 1. During the day I will probably travel a lot
within zone 1/2.

After looking at the TfL site I've come up with the following plan:

1. Get an Oyster PAYG card
2. Each morning touch in at Watford Junction
3. Take the train to Willesden Junction and get off there
4. Touch out at Willesden Junction and go through the exit

This should cost me £1.10 during off-peak times.

5. Go back inside the station, touch in, travel to somewhere in zone 1,
touch out
6. Spend the day travelling extensively within zone 1/2 while
sightseeing (touching in/out at every ride)

This should cost me £5.10 during off-peak times.

7. In the evening travel back to Watford Junction via Willesden Junction
like I did in the morning

This should cost me £1.10 during off-peak times.

Will this work? What alternative do you suggest if my plan won't work?
Thanks.

Ulrich
