We have been seeing all of the great pictures of Rolex watches on Holiday. Thanks, they are great everyone!! I am going to France next month but I do not plan on wearing any of my Rolex watches. I just don't want to worry about them getting lost or stolen. If I was going to a resort and staying close to the resort, maybe. I will be in Paris and I think a big city is no place to take chance. I know Paris is pretty safe for the most part and I will not be too far off the beaten path while I'm there.................just don't want to worry about watches on the streets, subways, buses....... What do you think????

sea-dweller · 17 March 2009, 01:15 AM

I'd say wear it, enjoy it and just use common sense on where you go. Paris is generally pretty safe.

wantonebad · 17 March 2009, 01:16 AM

I bought mine to enjoy, I take my watches on all kinds of travel, they are insured and if I couldn't bring them with me I would question owning them in the first place JMHO

biggums · 17 March 2009, 01:19 AM

I live in So. Cal and wear mine all the time. No problems yet!

Dan Pierce · 17 March 2009, 01:30 AM

Wear it, enjoy it!

Paris and Rolex go great together.

Wear them. That is what they are for. I'm going to London for a couple of weeks and I'm bring both of mine. Let them live...let them live.

nanagno · 17 March 2009, 01:50 AM

wear them always, everywhere/anywhere...in the end of the day they are watches!!!

Lion · 17 March 2009, 01:53 AM

I would bring and wear your Rolex. Just make certain it is insured and then you'll have no problems!!!

Rolex Lover · 17 March 2009, 01:56 AM

Wear your Rolex and enjoy it, Mark!!!

DS/B MINI S · 17 March 2009, 01:57 AM

Insurance is Cheap

Wear the watch

DSJ · 17 March 2009, 02:10 AM

I say insure it, and wear it.

Rolexshirts · 17 March 2009, 02:12 AM

Wear it if you can't enjoy them what is the point, just make sure your insurance is in order.

boa2 · 17 March 2009, 02:25 AM

Take the usual precautions as you would in any big city. Wear it. If you have a mishap, it won't be because of the watch.

Skutt50 · 17 March 2009, 02:26 AM

I would wear it. With long sleeves you can cover the watch should you feel the slightest unsafe. I wear a DJ all around the world without any hesitation.

The only thing I try to remember is not to give the time to anyone asking for it. And should anyone react on your watch just say you picked it up in HongKong last fall.

Have a nice trip and enjoy your Rolex.

Insurance.

DoxaDavid · 17 March 2009, 03:01 AM

I wear my Rolex watches whenever I go on vacation. They are insured and if you use a little common sense, I see no issues.

Meng16 · 17 March 2009, 04:00 AM

Like everyone else says, wear it! Just make sure it is insured.

postiff · 17 March 2009, 04:05 AM

I will bring mine to Mexico in a few months. We will be at a resort but will have to go to the local market to pick up food items and stuff like that. I figured I may leave it in the safe assuming our condo will have one, first time at this resort. I do plan on insuring both mine before I leave. I also figure my wife’s ring is worth 2-1/2 times what my IIc is worth and I am sure she will be wearing that as always.

Happy traveling.

gold4u2 · 17 March 2009, 04:08 AM

Thanks for your input everyone! I guess everyone is right too! Why have a Rolex if you gotta keep it in a safe...........

All of mine are insured, so I'm OK there.

It's has always been the case for me, I get better service in a jewelry store if they see I already own a Rolex watch. I mostly just kick the tires but you never know.

By the way, great picture of Paris with the Rolex store in the background!! It's been 13 years since I was in Paris. I'm getting ecited about the trip!!

2th Dr · 17 March 2009, 04:08 AM

Wear it! And enjoy it!

alphamale2012 · 17 March 2009, 04:20 AM

I'm wearing mine in iraq so if I wear it here I'll wear it anywhere

Frampton · 17 March 2009, 05:19 AM

I wear mine always on vacation, but it never comes off my wrist. While on vacation, it stays on while I sleep, swim and shower.

tthopp05 · 17 March 2009, 11:00 AM

Dont live in fear,enjoy every moment,it might be your last.
