Hi all.I'll be going to Mexico in July but with things the way they are which one should i bring..I went to Cancun 3 years ago on my honeymoon with my sub-date all inclusive no problems.. We will be going off the resort to a little island where you can rent a golf cart and there is a turlte nursery there.

If you already taken your Rolex to Mexico, then you should take the one you like best but for me, I probably would take the Seiko because I would not want to take any chances with my Rolex.

Take the Seiko.

It's much safer. People don't bother about stealing a Seiko as much as pinching a Rolex.

That's not saying they wont steal a Seiko, but it's much less attractive to them.

Jet · 1 June 2009, 06:30 AM

I'd take the Seiko.
Be safe & have a good vacation.

SDDS · 1 June 2009, 06:41 AM

i would also say go with the Seiko...

If your watches are covered by insurance (such as homeowners), take the Rolex, enjoy and relax.

Mike B · 1 June 2009, 07:24 AM

I'd take the Rolex.
Just don't take it off your wrist for even a second lol

kcmo · 1 June 2009, 07:28 AM

I'd take the Rolex as well and as always, be cautious about your surroundings.

rcher · 1 June 2009, 07:34 AM

I would stay the hell out of Mexico and go some place safer! Then you wouldn't have to worry about which watch to wear.

Either way, safe trip.

I am going for a week in August and I hadn't thought about it, I will most likely not wear a Rolex.

Bisquitlips · 1 June 2009, 08:41 AM

Take the Rolex and enjoy the trip!

that's what I do as well. you always have the option of taking it off and put in your pocket or hide it under a long sleeve shirt if you're not comfortable with the surroundings.

sea-dweller · 1 June 2009, 08:58 AM

Depending on where in Mexico, take your Rolex and enjoy it. I was in Monterrey, Mexico 2 weeks ago, on a business trip and felt very safe. Folks were friendly and kind - no issues at all.

migboy · 1 June 2009, 09:26 AM

i'd take the SD.

BLM2 · 1 June 2009, 09:32 AM

Take the SD but make sure it is insured for full replacement value. That way you will be covered if anything happens.

Rolexsd4000 · 1 June 2009, 09:52 AM

The SD is my weekend warrior...My baby so it might be the Sub-Date that'll be on my wrist,but still debating which watch I'll bring ..
I'm with you , but don't want to loose my SD. Now if I owned my future watch a Deep-Sea then ,I might bend alittle.

David Bidner · 1 June 2009, 09:55 AM

I always take a beater on vacation no matter where it is. The good watches stay in the safety deposit box while I'm away. Why take a chance.

Badfish179 · 1 June 2009, 10:48 AM

Take the Seiko, this way you don't even have to think about it.

Rolexsd4000 · 3 June 2009, 01:37 AM

Thanks all for the ideas...I'll post the final decission..

Mike

pz93c · 3 June 2009, 05:34 AM

FWIW- I'll be wearing my Rolex in Mexico in September.

Rolexsd4000 · 19 July 2009, 01:05 AM

Hi all thanks for all your input. My watches are all insured but with the economy the way it is here and especially Mexico I decided to bring this one..My son liked the other watch I gave it to him since he don't have a watch in collage. I bought this one because of curiosity and man for the money its a steal......very well made and if I loose it won't hurt that much. BTW.I'm leaving to Mexico this Tue.

Mike

jenu · 19 July 2009, 01:14 AM

Rolex, enjoy and be safe!

yemenmocha · 19 July 2009, 01:45 AM

Seiko. Less stress, and you can pencil in some adoration time with your Rolex when you get home.

allanofcalifornia · 19 July 2009, 01:52 AM

Good choice and have a wonderful time! Be sure to post pictures when you return!

Get your hand insured too, there's an abundance of large, sharp machetes in Mexico!!

Rolexsd4000 · 19 July 2009, 05:17 AM

Great minds think alike...

chicagowatchman · 19 July 2009, 05:38 AM

I always take my Rolex DD!

Rolexophile · 19 July 2009, 05:58 AM

Rolex gets my vote, you only live once. Have a great vacation!

Latrodectus · 19 July 2009, 02:08 PM

Take the one you feel most comfortable with!
