Agreed
I would be generally careful about walking around at night if there aren’t many people around (and I live downtown), but honestly the criminals are not that sophisticated. There’s no premeditated targeting of specific watches like you get in the big European cities. They’re usually just after your phone and wallet.
From CHI with love
In Chicago for a conference past few days. Was cloudy and rainy at first, then cleared up, but I enjoyed it all. Was busy with meetings/work, but did get to walk around a bit. Kept my wrist companionship simple and light. ...
It certainly used to be.
I’ve been there dozens of times for work and the decline is steady. But hopefully it’s temporary. Hope you enjoyed your trip!
I wear my watches around Chicago all the time without fear. Don’t believe everything you hear on the news.
Like most big cities, there are bad neighborhoods, but during the day in most places (and certainly anywhere you’d want to go) it is completely safe.

There are multiple examples of ppl posting pictures in restaurants.

In Chicago?
I've seen the videos from LA, but I follow crime and watch related things pretty closely for Chicago, and don't remember anything like what you described. The closest I can think of is someone robbed a gray dealer store two years ago.
You definitely have a penchant....
for the more idiosyncratic, artistic pieces. Nice wristshot, enjoy Chicago, Filip
You got a good read on me, Filip👌🏽That’s an astute observation that I didn’t realize myself…
when I think about it and look at pieces I’m most drawn to, they are idiosyncratic in one way or another.
For me ....
It's relatively easy to make that type of observation since most members here do lean tangibly to more traditional watches, so it stands out visually when someone like yourself does otherwise....
Strongly agree! I wonder, if it was in the east coast…
and went head to head with NYC, which would “win”🤔 The architecture and integration of buildings with waterways, etc. truly make this a uniquely charming city.
