What do others here do?

Depends on country and itinerary

On a business trip just one unless it is to Melbourne and I am catching up with Steve then usually three.

On holidays usually three.

One nice watch per trip for me. I'll grab my old $40 Timex too when I'm doing some serious outdoor activities on vacation.

No worries there either (none more than normal, anyway). Am I heading back to Bucharest to visit old friends? Yeah....not wearing my Rolex there. You can get stuck up for $30, not willing to take that risk. Get in the wrong cab and that could be it for you.

So really, it depends on where and what the crime is over there. I mean, I live in a major city where crime happens everyday, so it’s something to think about. But in some touristy areas, as I’m told especially in South and Central America, Rolexes are used by criminals as a targeting mechanism. See a Rolex, rob that guy or gal. No need to draw unnecessary attention.

In my opinion, after living in Bucharest for 6 months, it's a very safe place to wear a Rolex. On the other hand I feel USA is much more dangerous depending on what area you're in.

Same here, I use the triple Watchpod or the single Watchpod when traveling. Depends how many watches I bring along.
