A Man Was Killed For His Rolex Inside a Starbucks in Tulum
A Man Was Killed For His Rolex Inside a Starbucks in Tulum
Initial reports by local media linked the attack on Mexican David González Cuéllar to a gang in the tourist town who steal fancy watches.

New to the thread, just wanted to share. Purchased my first Rolex over the weekend and have been absolutely obsessed.
In the last 6 months or so, I've visited 6 different stores (Rolex/AD's). I'd say, 4 out of 6 of the stores did not take me seriously.
One store told me 10 year wait list, while other stores I could tell didn't even want to talk to me and "submitted my interest" on their phone.
Definitely a milestone and achievement piece.

Congrats - nothing beats a no-date Sub.
I saw the Tulum robbery article this morning and I started thinking about whether or not there's even a point to owning a nice watch anymore.
I used to wear my 40mm yellow gold presidential around NYC and give 0 f*cks. Last time I visted, I felt uncomfortable wearing something as low-key as a stainless Daytona.
Visiting Europe this summer and definitely not taking a watch with me.
It seems like Vegas is the only place I travel to where I can feel comfortable wearing a nice watch.
Basically I question if it's even worth stepping it up to the next tier of watches in the near future.

I am not a watch guy at all hence why I never come in here, though I do admire a nice Rollie or Royal Oak. Anyways I got the AP looking G Shock (same shape for the housing) for a social campaign, gave it to my bro who really wanted it cause apparently its a thing to take out the G Shock dial and replace all the housing with the Royal Oak mod housing kit.
Ngl, this kinda cool. Didnt know this was even a thing. His pic.

definitely saps out some of the fun and enjoyment if you’re constantly worried to wear your watches
im starting to think about the same thing but i think im just going to go a different route, instead of a royal oak, i might just go moser streamliner… instead of a calatrava i might go a.lange

got one that i switch off from white to black but i havent worn it much because it is on the bigger side, casio needs to offer an even smaller watch so i can wear em again
i do think it might solve the issue if i get a rubber strap instead

Vegas is seriously where it's at. I miss wearing a watch so much that I find myself in Vegas more often now.
It's nice living in LA and having it be so close. Couple weeks ago I went to vegas for the day, hopped on a flight 11 in the morning and came back at 7pm

even though i said i'm in a place where watch crimes arent really a concern, it is something i think about in terms of watch "tiers". as much as i want a RO, do i want to put myself out there at that price point where thieves may be more inclined, increasing my risk of being a target?
