Starts August 5th and it's in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. I should remain neutral between Brasil and United States if they meet up in a match and my watch should represent both

or neutral

I have the following watches in no particular order..

16710
116710
116610LVc
116713
116619
Black Bay Red

Here are the flags in no particular order

No security issues

I was thinking my SS GMT IIc

I feel a gmt is in order due to the cross between two countries. That is as far as I will speculate ! ;)

Ugly has hell so it'll never get stolen, and has several useful survival features for when the electricity goes out, the criminals take full control, and marshal law is instituted.

I avoid wearing any expensive watch even when the state fair comes to town and if I do wear an expensive watch, I stay away from the fair grounds area.

Tons of thieves follow those things around and crime spikes every year.

RW16610 · 5 July 2016, 01:00 PM

The 116710 GMT Master II get's my vote! That'll likely be my next watch mainly because of how versatile I feel it is.

wisguy · 5 July 2016, 01:02 PM

Brasil can be dangerous and Rolex can be a no-no

Take the Tudor if you must or buy a g-shock if you must know the time

Unless you'll have a certain level of security with you

Only time I went there my company put me in an armored vehicle

which one you want cut off your wrist with a hatchet

I'm sure there will be plenty of police around the events areas but the BlackBay.... Is the safest bet. Not as recognizable as Rolex.

You mentioned "no security issues", if that's the case them definitely the GMT Master II. However, if you're not certain about security, I would take a cheap watch and try not to attract attention in general.

If you have absolutely no security issues then the GMT is the way to go. If any concerns, go low key as possible.

Glidelock · 5 July 2016, 01:48 PM

The one that looks best under a masquito net!

Pele had his watch stolen by gunpoint while in his car in RdJ.
I man that they worship.
You are nuts.

KBM · 5 July 2016, 02:02 PM

Quailhunter · 5 July 2016, 02:11 PM

If you are in Rio and you believe you have no security issues, you have security issues.

Expensive watches attract trouble like raw meat attracts yellow jacket wasps in dangerous areas.

I agree, unless you have an armed bodyguard at your side, no Rolex on the wrist at Rio.

kneedeep · 5 July 2016, 02:19 PM

Lovely beaches. G-Shock is my fav RdJ watch. Nuff said.

DCheeta · 5 July 2016, 02:24 PM

Man, that's a tough call. I'd go with the 116710 as it will be the most neutral in a US vs. Brasil situation.

Have a great time! I hope you'll post pics for us to enjoy!

polaris72 · 5 July 2016, 03:12 PM

Timex or Swatch. However, both may get stolen. German TV van has just got stolen...

brmeyers · 5 July 2016, 03:44 PM
