thanks

I apologize, and hope you have a wonderful, safe trip to LA.

Sometimes I think about 90% of what I see posted on this forum is from trolls just trying to see what reaction they get. Have you seen some of the questions posted here sometimes?? Can I swim with my Rolex on? Let's see your Rolex
and.............. Do you sleep with your watch on? Do people notice and/or comment on your Rolex? I honestly come here sometimes just to get a good laugh.

LA no problem, just stay away from the wrong neighborhoods as you would likely do anyway. Enjoy!

I get that this is a kid, but that culture is toxic.

No place is perfectly safe, but based on the stories I've heard about Brazil (which are probably exaggerated), LA is a utopia.

You shouldn't wear a Rolex anywhere. Send it to me and I will take good care of it for you.

LA is absolutely safe to wear any watch. You can wear a PM here and its completely normal. Obviously, you'll be wanting to see what LA has to offer and most of those places are fairly affluent. But even the places that aren't as developed are miles a head of most places in the world. Lots of great food and attractions here! Enjoy your stay and the sun! Just like anything when you travel be cautious and smart :). I actually am going to cabo and I asked the same question about safety of wearing my rolex. Nothing is guaranteed but % wise you're golden when it comes to LA and wearing nice things :).
