which watch do you wear when you travel overseas

Hamilton navy GMT

from my observation, a lot of members here wear less expensive timepieces when travelling to prevent being mugged....then why does one buy a rollie GMT/Pam GMT and etc, then and only use it in SG? I find it hard to reconcile.

I find it interesting too cos I've know of people who deliberately not wear their Rolexes when on holiday. Ironically, they hang a camera that's more expensive than their Rolexes. Go figure

I think it's mainly about how safe people feel in the country that they are travelling to. If they were to go to somewhere safe like Japan, I think that they would have no qualms bringing their Rolexes, but if it's some place like Vietnam or Cambodia, I suspect that's when they leave it at home and bring something cheaper avoid drawing unwanted attention. I also think that the context of the trip matters, if they're going to the more dangerous countries but on a business trip where they need to project a certain image, the Rolex might be called into action.

I really appreciate how safe Singapore is, and that wearing an expensive watch won't put me at risk of getting mugged and left in a ditch.

Watch with GMT function for overseas. I wear my Steinhart Ocean GMT for oversea trip.

Real life experience. Although it's not a expensive watch, i was wearing my Sinn on top of a taiwan mountain which had just snowed over the night. The floor was slippery and i slipped, doing a 180 flip with my watch landing glass face first on the rocky floor. The bezel was badly scratched but still working fine.

Unexpected things happen when people travel thats why they don't wear their expensive watches. Imagine if i was wearing a rollie or pam. Major ouch!

Depending on the destination and nature of trip, usually Seikos for my fishing/diving trips, Daytona for business and Panerai for R&R/family holidays.

Rolexes are more attractive to a thief than a camera of same or higher value cause Rolexes are easier and faster to convert to cash.

[lankyal]

Depends on the location. It I think it is not safe, either a seiko or just use my mobile phone as a watch.

[JWNY]

I travel to a lot of third world countries and so far have no fear of wearing my Speedy or Sub

[Daytona67]

Wearing a cheap watch like G-Shock when overseas is a safe thing to do but what if you come across a nice Rolex at a good price? Would the sales staff think you can't afford the watch?!!
