Leaving my Rolex at home for the first time while traveling

So I’ve decided to leave my Sub at home for the first time while traveling, on vacation in Rome. Gonna visit all the famous tourist places around town.
Time to put the old G-Shock to work!

Am I getting older and sceptical or older and wiser

Good decision. If you aren’t comfortable wearing it, then it’s best to leave it at home.

My wife and I travel to Italy every other year and we always spend at least 3 days in Rome. I usually wear my BLRO You’ll see people wearing Rolex all over the city.

Yes best to be relaxed and not anxious about watches on holiday. Last time I went to Rome I wore a Tudor and it was fine but definitely have to be careful

I have a Tudor Pelagos on a NATO strap that I have been wearing on vacations for several years, with a few exceptions. It’s a super practical vacation watch and I really enjoy it.

You do the right thing although I am a little disappointed that we aren’t being asked if it’s safe to wear your favourite timepiece out in public. Enjoy the trip I’m sure you’ll have a great time
