Will you wear rolex for your travel trip?

[prince7]

Usually wear a Tag or Orient diver

For me, it's either Uboat, Omega or Lum-tec...so far no issues

Usually have a Seiko and Zeno for travel but if I deem the country "safe" then I will wear my rollie...

dont mind can define what is "safe"? For me, I think all countries are about the same; just depends on how you travel, not where you travel.

a "safe country" is any country you can buy travel insurance cheaply. use a separate rider for your watch.

i would wear any watch that is replaceable by my insurer - or i guess an easier motto is: i wear any watch i can afford to lose!

i've been robbed before in malaysia, taiwan and hong kong - so never say never.

but my vintage watches have never been taken as i don't usually wear them for travel...

For me, a "safe" country is where I feel comfortable with wearing my rollie (or any branded watch really) without fear of additional unnecessary attention or trouble because the watch caught someone's eye.

It is really a individual's comfort level with the country. For instance, I have been robbed and had beer bottles thrown at my windscreen while in the car in Oz before but I still feel comfortable to wear my rollies when i am there...

Hi all,

I went to Hk in Seiko. Last year end went to Taiwan with sub.

Mid year went to Phuket was in my army gift watch. This year end to Japan likely with sub too, these are safe places.

I felt that if you are wearing Rolex than be more careful lah. I told myself never to remove my watch and place aside and attend to other things.

Cheers,

So far for me...no issues at all....been thru bangkok during the chaotic period and came home in 1 piece ....both me and watch are fine....

my 10 yr old ellesse watch whenever i travel.
just dont want to attract any unwanted attention regardless where i go.
just want to come back in 1 piece.
don't even want to let them gamble whether real or fake watch and end up with 1 wrist lesser.

Will wear my Tag or Orient Diver oversees. Back at home have a safe but none of the watch is place inside. I place my watches all in an unlocked 4+6 watch winder. 1 risk is my maid will take all and run away. It's all fated lah...

i recently spoke to a financial advisor who told me that you can insure your watch for full value when you travel overseas. i just sign up a policy.

for those who are interested in signing up such policy, you can either consult your own financial advisor or pm me for contact. this policy also covers insurance @ home (singapore) which i find it useful.

however, certain conditions need to be fulfill which i shall not elaborate and leave it to the financial advisor.

tats a gd one.

For me it depends on where I go. If it is to HK, I will wear a better watch (I may even bring 2 watches) esp if I intend to visit the watch boutiques etc.

For some countries especially in our region, I will wear my cheaper watches. In general, my general travel watch is my Rolex GMT for obvious reasons!

for me, i will not wear rolex in any foreign country except SG.
