Hello Folks,
I'm heading up to Washington DC for the week. I will be taking in the sites over the weekend. Public transportation (Metro) will be my means of transportaion in from Reston. Would you wear your Submariner?

MonBK · 30 April 2011, 07:31 AM

Sure.

mjclark32 · 30 April 2011, 07:34 AM

Yup

UJU · 30 April 2011, 07:34 AM

Why not?

mjm800 · 30 April 2011, 07:36 AM

I wear my Rolex just about anywhere. I have never had a problem on vacation in any city I have visited.

However, I am not staying out until 3am, stumbling back to the hotel drunk and cutting trough dark allies.

If you are doing that then your Rolex is not safe wherever you are.

folexhater · 30 April 2011, 07:37 AM

If you want to keep track with the time, you should!

AJMarcus · 30 April 2011, 07:37 AM

Trust me.... Everybody has a Rolex in DC. And in Reston, a Sub is required for all bartenders!

03cobraa · 30 April 2011, 07:41 AM

Sure! I''ve got insurance!

X2, also check out Tyson's Corner in Virginia and stop by Columbia in Maryland. Very nice places!

WatchTimes · 30 April 2011, 07:46 AM

I wear my Rolex most anywhere without worry...

I do not know if I would say the same if I was wearing an
all gold model but still Id even wear that most anywhere.

If I am going to a third world country and going to be in a less
than desirable area where I am really worried Ill wear a Marathon
or Ill wear my White Face Exp II that is without a cyclops (Daytona crystal)
as its uber low key.

In the US Id wear it anywhere

submariner92 · 30 April 2011, 07:48 AM

don't go anywhere near the atlas district!

StarSovereign · 30 April 2011, 07:50 AM

Yes. Washington DC is perfectly safe if you stick to all the "touristy" spots.

Dr. Robert · 30 April 2011, 07:51 AM

I wouldn't take your Rolex to DC.......the crooked politicians may steal it from you.

Art 1 · 30 April 2011, 07:56 AM

Why wouldn't you?

esm · 30 April 2011, 08:10 AM

Use common sense - that'd go a long way.

Would you please stop making fun of me.

ecsub44 · 30 April 2011, 08:23 AM

If you're asking if you should wear your watch in <insert place here> then you probably shouldn't be wearing your watch there.

jrssv · 30 April 2011, 09:47 AM

I'm going to wear my GMT IIc bear hunting in Canada next week. It's insured for full value. I'm not. I see lots of people worrying about where they can wear their watches. Insurance is cheaper than worry.

wdalew5 · 30 April 2011, 09:58 AM

If the place is not safe for your Rolex,then I can't be safe for you either!!!!

slcbbrown · 30 April 2011, 10:15 AM

Don't see any reason not to.

+1 Well said!

Dan2010 · 30 April 2011, 10:19 AM

No, do not wear it.

71Dragtruck · 30 April 2011, 10:25 AM

It all depends on what accessories you wear with it, me I wouldn't worry about it ;)

Speed · 30 April 2011, 10:26 AM

We need a world Atlas with a "Y" or "N" in each country and city so folks know where a Rolex can be worn ;-)

TempoKing · 30 April 2011, 10:29 AM

I never travel by Metro in DC...you carry a lot of money, an expensive watch etc.
Take a Taxi..so what if you spend a couple of hundred extra...peace of mind above all.

landroverking · 30 April 2011, 10:35 AM

I have been all over the area wearing an 18Kt Blue Sub.

Z-Sub · 30 April 2011, 10:46 AM

I plan on taking mine to a meeting in mid May in DC.

They are doing that through the back food method, taxes and fees. Another few years and the middle class will be gone.
