Travel safety - how do you reason?
By: Krinck : July 26th, 2023-10:38
Iāve used my beloved 5513 āpumpkinā as a travel watch for many years. I know it is risky, but I really donāt want to change, and I use my daughter who is a Kyokushin brown belt for protection hahaha! How do you reason while traveling regarding safety for ...
Too bad

Iām like you, a bit prudent and quite attentive which helps. Did you have a safe which the broke in to, or was it in the room?
Terrible
By: Krinck : July 26th, 2023-12:48
I feel very sorry for you.
Difficult times ā¦

Iām determined to keep enjoying my collection and this means enjoying them on my wrist, however we are going through a period of high demand and limited supply and watches, especially Rolex are on the radar of some seriously bad people. My advice is cover...
Agree

Iām quite prudent and if in a crowd I cover it, and I donāt wear my Pateks in public. Didnāt think about hotel staff, that is a good suggestion!
There is a difference between theft and personal safety.

I have three black belts and taught military. 1. Attacks are coordinated and oblique. Your daughter could go from asset to liability very quickly. 2. If you have to defend yourself there can be serious insurance ramifications. 3. You may not have the righ...
You are right

Iāve told my daughter to just leave everything if robbed, but it is a little comforting knowing she is not an as easy target as youād expect when you see her. Iāve told her that the sequence should be: 1) Give them what they want, material things can be r...
I choose to travel to safe countries, not because of watches, but safety in general. In those countries, you cant be bothered about which watch to wear.
By: @lberti : July 26th, 2023-11:27
Safe countries for me: Japan, Oman, UAE, Switzerland, some EU countries, etc. When i travel in countries i do not feel comfortable wearing a rolex, then i would take my seiko's or even an Omega people dont understand what it is, such as the CK859 ...
Absolutely!
By: Krinck : July 26th, 2023-11:42
For more shady places I use my Speedy on a nato strap
I really try..
By: Krinck : July 26th, 2023-11:43
ā¦to avoid third world countries and shady neighborhoods.
Yes
By: Krinck : July 26th, 2023-12:49
But itās better to be one potential victim among many than to stand out.
That's true

...discretion is always key. It's unfortunate because it takes a lot of the fun away from this beautiful passion. Sometimes I just feel like I should just strap an apple watch on and feel safer, but I love watches too much to do it.
Same!
By: Krinck : July 26th, 2023-13:45
I completely agree!

lesser well known brands

and avoiding watches on steel bracelets which attract more attention
Good point

I use a Kurono chrono on strap when using the subway in Stockholm.
True!

Travel with a less conspicuous watch...
By: patrick_y : July 26th, 2023-15:07
Thieves will want to steal your Rolex because Rolexes are liquid and they can get thousands of Euros for that watch right away. If you wore a Breguet, Breguets aren't as liquid, thus, you're less likely to get trouble. Also, consider wearing a watch that ...
...better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all
By: j.jota : July 26th, 2023-17:30
Watches were meant to be worn, certainly, but I do agree with the suggestions relative to covering up when in sketchy areas/situations... thieves can't steal what they can't see. Of course, if you're on a tropical beach and get mugged for your Sub, well t...
Thank you!
