Not really a fair question. Of the options you gave, hard to choose anything but the Oysterflex Daytona! Enjoy

Bro, it is October, wear long sleeves, a nice jacket, problem solved, wear what you want. Al Capone's ancestors will leave you alone and make for the shlub in the wife beater, flip flops, and solid gold Daytona.

#1 YG Daytona OF. Your gonna be enjoying dining, shopping and going out. Wear something dressy. Something with some oomph. I'd leave the Sub and GMT at home.

None of the above. Chicago is not a safe city. At all.

And I say that as someone who lived for 40 years within 2 hours of the place and I've been there many times.

You're overthinking it. He will be fine.

Adaptive responses to uncertainty about potential future threats rely on accurate estimates of the probability and cost of such events. Highly anxious individuals show neural alterations that contribute to biased assessments of the probability or cost of uncertain negative events, resulting in overly pessimistic expectations. When presented with hypothetical scenarios about negative events, whether common or rare, highly anxious individuals frequently show “judgment bias” – that is, elevated estimates of the cost or probability of such events.

The chance something happens to OP for his watch is incredibly close to zero. Statistics, however, are not intuitive.

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.

Wow, so everyone knows you and the family will be out of town, your stash of watches at home and just thinking, sounds like a mighty fine recipe for a burglar. Way too much info for a social media post.

I’d wear the GMT, especially if you have any concern that the YG Daytona may be too flashy/attention drawing. (Which GMT are we talking about, btw?)

Yeah! Crooks know ‘Daytona King’ is out of town. With no dates. No ties to his actual name and is using an alias. He should be shaking in his boots. Lol

Fear mongering and again, seriously reaching.

It is quite concerning when the only thought that comes to mind for this individual is the potential for Daytona Kings Home to be burglarized. This suggests a preoccupation with criminal activity, which is often associated with a lack of intelligence.

Went to Chicago. Had a great time. Wore the gmt and a jacket. Didn’t see many nice watches. Mainly Apple Watches.

I trust you had a delightful time away. By the way, I do hope that everything was in order at your residence during your absence. I sincerely hope there were no unfortunate incidents, such as break-ins.

Well I was staying at the Trump hotel. Tuesday night we were on a lock down with swat and secret service. There was a person there who “allegedly” had high capacity armor piercing bullets. Trump was stayed the night Thursday evening. More of the same all over the hotel. We couldn’t get in for 3 hours as they blocked off the hotel for him. Felt safe and not so safe of the situation at the same time. The marathon was this past Saturday. Almost 70k people came into town for it as well as I’m sure bad people looking to take advantage of all the out of towners there. Because of the large tight crowds I was happy I chose the GMT on jubilee.

For a family trip to Chicago, I recommend wearing the stainless steel GMT on Jubilee. It’s versatile and stylish for any occasion, plus it’s comfortable for all-day wear while exploring the city. Enjoy your trip!

It appears that you had an exciting trip. The last time I visited Chicago, I had the pleasure of staying at the Trump Hotel. Out of all the five-star hotels I've had the opportunity to experience in the city, it undoubtedly stands out as the finest. Great views from our room, and we were able to see the fireworks.
