Love Manhattan. Always worn my GMT there without a thought.

My son lives in Brooklyn and commutes into Manhattan daily wearing his two-tone Datejust - which is not subtle - and has never had a problem. His girlfriend lives in Tribeca so he is traveling the Subway all hours of the day so he has seen it all. He is as close to a native as a New Yorker can get, so he does nt look like a tourist. As somedoct else said, situational awareness is essential.

Like any big city just be aware of your surroundings.

If you wear it, you will be deader than a Boeing whistleblower.

You can always take it off and put in your pocket..

I would not. It's safer on your wrist. I believe you're more likely to be pick-pocketed on the train or someone shoulder-checking you & happily finding a watch when they want to get a wallet than you are to be mugged for your watch.

Be smart. It's a big city. You're not a country bumpkin rube who doesn't understand how crime works. Wear sleeves. I'll be in NYC in May. I wear long sleeves (business) & when I'm on the train, I don't reach up for the overhead handhold with my left (watch) hand.

Good Advice

Thank you! I realized that I said "in May" when we are currently in May. I meant to say later this month. Either way, Smurf. It attracts 1% of the attention than my TT DJ36 does.

In the diamond district my husband had maybe 5 people ask to buy his Smurf.

Awful.

[Krash]

I’d wear it.

I’m bringing my GMT BLNR to Europe in a few months. I’m wearing it everywhere I go.

But admittedly, I’m not so sure about the subway system in NYC. It seems like there is always something bad going on…

Wear a Pepsi but not a 16610LV.

[Toptimes]

Sounds like a great trip, Central park is a fantastic area to stay in. As for wearing your pepsi while taking a subway, NYC is generally safe, especially in well traveled areas like Central park and on a subway.

I'm not a tourist, a Hassidic Jew or Italian gold merchant, so I don't venture into 47th St. often.

(Mods, before you jump to the infractions, as a native New Yorker, the aforementioned three demographics are truly the only people who spend time in the Diamond District. It's factual, not anti-anyone.)

Am on the subway right now in short sleeves wearing a Patek. Probably several thousand subway rides taken in NYC. Never a problem.

[rlx123]

I always wore my Pepsi or my black daily Daytona or sea dweller 43 in NYC. Never had a problem. I go to NYC a lot. You would be surprised to see many Rolex watches in NYC.

In the area, I’ve seen a lot of Rolex

The city is safe, wear whatever you can and enjoy it.

Doh ! It IS that obvious..

[kieselguhr]

Make sure you wear a full set of swag gear while you’re at it. Green Rolex hat, Rolex socks, Rolex pen in your front pocket, and carry the Green Rolex duffel bag too. Don’t forget to loudly proclaim that you are wearing an iconic Rolex Pepsi every 5 minutes as well. The GMT bezel is perfect for timing this as you can just do it every time the minute hand hits an hour interval on the bezel

travelled to barcelona last week. wore a 5164 all the time and didn’t have any problem nor felt insecure. people are way too worried! enjoy your watches!

[wristivities]

It is pretty safe, but I wouldn't wear a watch if I'm to be constantly worried about my surrounding

[hutch300]

I don't know NYC well. I wore a 16600 last time but it was long sleeve weather. I am going this summer and will probably wear my Timex mostly. I know it's usually fine, but why make the watch a concern.

[chtfse]

Pepsi lives in the safe these days. It's the unfortunate reality of Rolex ownership.

lol ok. Once Trump is back as President you'll see The Post's coverage do a 180. Regardless on what the situation is.
