I go to Portugal in the Algarve nearly every year and haven’t had any issues, that said I would leave the DD as your SS pieces will fly under the radar if/when needed. However my pal got mugged for his iPhone coming out a club in Lisbon in the early hours of the am, so I would recommend take a cab when you can.
What’s the situ/risk in Florida? |

Personally, I'd just bring the GMT, leave the DD at home.

I love Portugal, beautiful country and beautiful people.
I’ve been to Lisboa, the Algarve, Fatima and many points in between. I wore my SD43 and DBlue no worries, just common sense and awareness like anywhere else in the world. |

They all try to sell you sand there and when you don't watch your bag it could be gone. Nephew of my wife is officer there and we met him in his lunch break right there |

Made my decision! 1 rubber, 1 bracelet, 1 strap; 3 relatively under the radar watches.

Nice trio, my opinion would be to put on the GMT and leave the others at home.

Whichever one you want. But do yourself a favour and leave the American flag shirt at home.

Haha, that's definitely a sweater that stays in country only.

Gmt no brainer. Flys under the radar and you can see your hometime. Definitely a traveler's watch in every sense of the word

Also, I like to change things up depending on the outfit I'm wearing.

The safest place for a watch is your wrist and the ones back in the hotel would just make me anxious, no joy in that |

Agree with you there. That's why all my watches are insured and the ones I do bring are insured for current value (thus no Hulk on this trip).

Lisbon
I’ve been to Lisbon 3 times in the last 18 months and every time I get asked do I want any drugs.
I wouldn’t wear a Rolex there as it’s well dodgy. Leave the watches at home and use a sun dial. |
