Been many times in Thailand, never felt unsafe wearing a steel Rolex.

So I’m really planning on the DSSD and the Daytona Black …
Anyone think 2 pieces will be an issue even with customs?

Thanks

First, I would only take one watch so you don't have to worry about securing the other when you are not wearing it. Enjoy the food and sights, they are both awesome.
Prior to covid, I spent a lot of time in Thailand for work. I always wore my TT GMT or TT Sub. I'd go sightseeing on weekends, including Bangkok and Pattaya. I never felt the least bit concerned for my safety.
They key is where you go, what establishments you frequent and what company you keep. If you are there to indulge in some of the "after dark activities", there is a greater risk of being in a situation that while you may not be hurt physically, you may be relieved of your possessions of value and not remember what happened the next morning.

Yes completely agree with the after dark activities but I don’t plan to be out after dark if that even:
And yes I am planning at this point just to bring the 116500
