Dangerous to wear Rolex?

[TimothyDwight]

I am a college student have been considering getting a watch for some time, and have been saving up from various summer jobs. I was pretty set on getting an Omega SMP, but the echo that i see on this forum of waiting for the one you want (hopefully a pre loved Sub or GMT IIc) has made me hold off.

Anyway, I go to college in a city which i would not characterize as safe in some areas and am kinda worried about getting mugged/shot because of my watch. I am a country boy, so basically I am looking for city dwellers to give me some advice.

Thanks so much!
