Is it safe to wear a Rolex to a flea market?
Of course it is! Happy Monday everyone!

Well, if the flea markets are in Greenwich, Connecticut, or Santa Barbara, California, or Palm Peach, sure pretty safe. You might get accidentally bumped by a Ferrari or Lambo but the watch should survive.

Beautiful watch, but not if you want to bargain with a seller...

I've never been to one, but I have heard that several people who cannot afford a Rolex actually go there looking for bargains. So do be careful.

Probably safer than wearing it on your right wrist.

Did you give it a flea bath first? These are important questions.

Could hurt your negotiating if it's recognised so have the old line - I didn't get to where I am today and wearing a Rolex by paying crazy prices.

It's safe to wear a Rolex to a flea market, but it's not safe to buy a Rolex at a flea market.
