Ways to prevent getting my rolex stolen?

As a new member of the rolex community and proud owner of one rolex, I'm always looking to ways to prevent my only rolex stolen.

Regards

Wear it, Insure it, don't flash it, consider no date/ no cyclops which is not as easily recognizable and flies under the radar.

Head down to your local bank, open a safe deposit box and put your Rolex in there.

Problem solved.

Gain 150 pounds of muscle! Get it insured and be careful of your surroundings.

Dont wear it.

Or

Get it insured. Even if it does get stolen, it will get replaced.

Actually wondered if this would work. Guy approaches you and demands your wallet, watch, and what not.. You fork over you wallet but go for your watch and say "This is fake anyway, you can have it..."

Maybe he says never mind and runs off?

Make sure you have it insured... but at the end of the day "it's just a watch, wear it, enjoy it and try not to worry about it"
If all this fails - buy a Seiko to wear and stop worrying.....


cheers

Common sense, don't get drunk and brag about it in the wrong neighbourhood. Just be a little streetwise and you'll be fine.

Leave it at home. Preferably in a big safe.

Just don't flash it around, most watches fly under the radar if you're not putting it people's faces.

Things happen....



When you love someone, you've gotta trust them. There's no other way. You've got to give them the key to everything that's yours. Otherwise, what's the point?

Never take it off. Even if your going swimming. As long as it had a recent service first. Number thing is... never leave it in your gym locker. Happened to a few of my colleagues

My apologies I should have added the , I edited my previous post for effectiveness.

In all seriousness, I think you have nothing to worry about. I visited my retired relatives in Boquete a year ago, I brought my DJ. I have seen several other individuals in town with Rolex, gringos and natives alike. Insure your watch to it's full value, if someone tries to rob you, then give them the watch. It's not worth your life.

Has anyone mentioned alcohol and women of ill repute?

Avoid that combo!
