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.

I agree, but if you wear a Rolex to flea markets is, shall we say "less sophisticated" locales, a vendor may ask you if you would like to buy a battery for your watch.

In all seriousness, very nice watch.

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

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