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.

.....and why let all the crooks in the world know you and the family will be out of town.

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.
