Going to Chicago for 4 days. Only want to bring 1 watch.

Going to Chicago for a week. Considering which watch to wear. Staying at a 5 star hotel so not too worried about when we are there. When traveling I like to only wear one watch.

The choices are
1. Yellow gold oyster flex Daytona.
2. SS gmt on jubilee
3 SS green bezel sub.

It’s a family trip so we will be going to different parts of the city. But all relatively safe places. Maj take the kids to the indoor pool.

All 3 of those options standout especially option #1 so for me that one should definitely stay at home. Flip a coin for your choice of the other two options or other than that take something that doesn’t standout

I can’t believe the Daytona King is thinking of jumping ship

GMT and don’t worry about it. There are tons of nice watches in Chicago.

I made a mistake not brining my GMT to Rome and Positano. It felt totally safe here.

If I were a watch thief, 5 star hotels would be the prime spot to scout for potential victims. I’m curious, why do you feel safe in such a baited place full of wealthy targets?

I feel safe as I would have the watch on my wrist or in the safe. I think the being in the hotels are safer than walking around the streets.

Unfortunately all of my watches pop. I don’t really like boring/ plain watches. Nothing wrong with that but I always like a pop of color.

I would wear any of them (if they are insured) and enjoy your trip with the family. As always, stay vigilant regardless of what watch you are wearing. If I had to pick one, it would be the Sub.

The problem with 5 star hotels is they have high worth clients, and low worth employees. They know how to avoid the cameras, access your rooms, and when you have gone, and when you return. They may act with impunity and are not held responsible. Ask me how I know. You are better off keeping it on your wrist than trusting ANYONE to guard it for you.
