Bringin the Pepsi on it’s first trip.

Pretty flashy with its colours and jubilee.

Not too familiar with Southern California!

Anyone been with fancy flashy watches?

Cheers

I was just in San Diego in July and wore my explorer 1. Had no concerns at all wearing my Rolex.

Can't tell if this is a joke post or not. I'll bite though...

There is a good chunk of us in the LA area here on TRF. I live in West LA. My daily is usually one of my SS Rolex watches -- some of mine are considered "hard to get" or "hot" models. I have never had a problem wearing any of them out in public. There are plenty of members here with much more expensive, flashier watches that I suspect regularly wear them out in public in LA as well. You'll be fine. Enjoy your time in SD!

Thanks! I spent 6 months living in Sunnyvale when I worked for Apple. So NorCal is all I really know

Appreciate the response

I live in SD and not afraid to wear it anywhere in CA. Median home price in La Jolla is $1.7M. I’m pretty sure you and your watch will be safe. Just watch out at night for drunk drivers and have fun!

You will be fairly safe OP. La Jolla is predominately an affluent area. As always, situational awareness and common sense will generally serve you well wherever you are in the world. Be safe and have fun


AOW

Your pepsi would be safe in SD. The locals won't even notice it. Enjoy your vacation.

No need to apologize, you are regular on TRF, legitimate question. I guess be always aware of your surroundings no matter where you are.

In La Jolla I would be more concerned with being arrested as a homeless person or vagrant for only wearing a SS watch...

It'll be very dangerous! Those notorious La Jolla bandits will kidnap you in their Bentley or Rolls; and they'll steal your super-luxe SS Rolex and replace it with their Gold Rolex. Be very careful!

La Jolla is rich AF. You’ll be fine.

This is like asking if my ice cream cone is safe on the North Pole. Or if my parrot is safe in costs rica.
