Is it safe to wear a Rolex in Rome?

The problem is not any particular location. It's about being unfamiliar with the location, how safe areas can rather rapidly transition to unsafe ones, and looking like a tourist. I was in San Francisco about 10 years ago doing a shoot on a boat parked at the docks there. The waterfront area is very nice and mostly safe. Back in the hotel at night we could literally hear the front desk staff begging foreign tourists not to walk to other popular areas of the city that were literally blocks away and take a cab. "But it's right there (pointing at a map)! Just 5 blocks! 10 minute walk! Why drive?!?!?"

Roma..... is a dream ....
I would be calm.... but
If you're not comfortable, avoid it

Took this guy to Italy just after I bought it. Granted it was winter and I had long sleeves all the time. Probably would have worn Apple Watch on a summer trip.

I think your real question is, is it safe to wear Rolex outside.
