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.
