Is it safe...

Is it safe to wear your Rolex while getting hit by a bus?

Yep - just hold it up, and all should be fine; it'll stop the bus and you can then hop on it.

No, it's not safe. When a bus hits you, you're injured. When this happened, the people will kill you to take your Rolex off your wrist. That is why is unsafe to wear a Rolex in this situation.

Keep eyes on the road when crossing the streets, not admiring the Rolex on your wrist😄

Wear it. It will give the watch some character. You bought if to enjoy it while you do stuff like swimming, hiking, and getting hit by a bus, too.

How deep is the water you're in? You might want to choose you're Rolex carefully for the depth.

About as safe as it is to shower with a DSSD. It's a horribly dangerous idea.

As long as your watch does not end up in a puddle as a result of the collision.
