Hey guys,

I'm 18 years old from Brazil. I'm going to travel to Los Angeles in a few weeks to study and I was wondering what you guys think of wearing the iconic Rolex Daytona 116500ln. I will be most of the time in Santa Monica. Do you guys think is safe? Wearing a Rolex in Los Angeles is dangerous?

Since I live in Brazil, I almost don't wear my watches. When I travel is the only opportunity I have to wear it.

I would love to know what you guys think.

Thank you.

Super dangerous the second you step off the plane at lax lil pump n badbahhbie r gonna run you for your Daytona all the way down to your underwear. You won’t be able to walk the streets unless fully armed ....nobody I repeat nobody wears rolex in Los Angeles or Beverly Hills I’ve never ever ever seen one....so you can make your own judgment if you think it’s safe.

Welcome to the forum. Santa Monica is extremely safe. Wear and enjoy.

c41006 · 24 April 2018, 07:16 AM

Of course you can wear your Daytona in LA

singe89 · 24 April 2018, 07:27 AM

Like any big city be aware of your surroundings. Chances are you'll see many more high end watches in SM.

SoCal_Batman · 24 April 2018, 05:15 PM

Yes, you can and should absolutely enjoy your Daytona while on vacation. I live in Santa Monica so if you have questions about anything while you’re out here, pm me.

chad362wiley · 24 April 2018, 05:19 PM

I wear all my watches on Figueroa late at night walking home from class/fraternity house. Never had an issue. You’ll be fine ��

Welcome to the forum.

Please tell us what other dangerous cities you've been travelling to.

tyler1980 · 24 April 2018, 06:37 PM

i never get these threads. If you are going to get robbed you will get robbed. Phone or watch or wallet or jewelry, it doesn't matter. If its a real concern you probably shouldn't be there in the first place.

I just don't buy the argument that these crimes are anything more than crimes of opportunity wrong place/wrong time. Your other stuff is just a big of a target and i doubt a criminal targets someone and then says "nope not a nice enough watch, pass"

I wear my watches everywhere i go. If i get scared, i dont go as my watch is the least of my concerns.

why? Its not the automatic assumption when someone asks is it safe to take my watch to europe... and then a lot of people then say no, despite statistics hugely disputing that vs where they are coming from. Just curious.

Or is it first post, 18 y/o with a daytona?

Danny83 · 24 April 2018, 11:33 PM

Yes its safe I would not recommend goin to Compton or Skidrow tho lol

Just a hunch it's a riff on just the types of "take my watch to" threads to which you refer. I appreciate OP's humor.

kultschar · 25 April 2018, 12:16 AM

To be fair to the OP he does live in Brazil.

I roll my eyes to these threads usually but no way would I wear a Rolex in Rio for example, so maybe for him its a bit different to ask such a question.

You can wear your daytona in LA, just remember, nobody walks in LA!

goin camping · 25 April 2018, 02:46 AM

Been wearing various Rolex's around L.A. for decades. Current is a Daytona. No problems.

May we assume, then, that the bad guys are too busy with the banks to go after 0P‘s Daytona?

No. Don’t drive a BMW there either.

jrs146 · 25 April 2018, 04:29 AM

Is it safe to wear your Rolex anywhere?

I would not recommend going to those places no matter what you're wearing.

Santa Monica would be no problem though.

Watch out for the bangers. Get your shit jacked homie.

dafuture · 25 April 2018, 05:36 AM

You'll be fine in Santa Monica. No worries.

Actually, that is a serious question. Like I said, I live in Brazil and using a "nice watch" here is suicide. I had travelled several times to Florida and always felt safe there. I have never been to LA so I was just curious how it is.

thanks
