Hey everyone
Thinking to bring the Black 116500 and the JC 126660

Any thoughts on safety etc ?
Thanks

If I will bring one , leaning towards the Daytona

Depends on where you go, when you go there, who you go with, and what you do.

I would feel completely comfortable wearing either watch under that scenario.

A steel sports watch will be OK a solid gold day date is another story

[aboutime]

Given how prolific counterfeits are in that region, most will probably think you acquired it at the local street market. Tourist police are fairly prevalent in the more densely populated areas. You’ll be fine.

Ok thanks everyone
I was planning to bring both to attach memories too that’s why I asked but yes I agree.. should be fine

Be careful of the lady boys, they will want more than your watch

To be fair though, they offer a bit more.

[Mercmanr]

Of course you are going to pattaya for the beaches! Seriously, you should be fine, everyone there has a rolex-mostly fake-but I've got friends there that wear real with no issues. If you do invite new friends back to your room, don't leave nothing lying around

Now that sir is gold

I'd give Pattaya a swerve altogether, and go somewhere nice, like Krabi.

I agree Pattaya is not a nice place. The grooming of young boys and girls visible in public is quite disgusting.

I would wear a Seiko or G-Shock and not have any issues or worry. When in doubt, there is no doubt. Skip an expensive watch.

[csaltphoto]

I've been thinking about a trip to the Philippines. I have a friend there and was asking if it was safe to wear a Rolex. She had a great response and I'll paraphrase but it went something like this, "Anywhere we go you would be completely safe. But leave your expensive watch at home so you don't worry about it. You don't even need a watch. You're on vacation."

I would only take one anyway, the hotel safes are shit and wouldn't fancy leaving anything of high value in them, high end hotel or not

i've never in all my 27 years of travelling and for a while living there witnessed that... still I suppose it all depends on where you hang out

[Crown.collector]

Bangkok is very safe. I’ve enjoyed pm watches without stress

[IS2000]

You will be fine with any of those watches in Bangkok. Watches are usually not targeted since there are so many counterfeit ones around. I’d however be prepared if getting questioned at the custom for bringing in multiple watches into the country.

[SLWoodster]

Upgrade to a black dial 4 digit Daytona. Nobody would bother you.

[Steele]

I lived in Pattaya for a year and worked there and can say I had my Sub on the entire time never an issue

[kritameth]

I'm Thai, so take this with a grain of salt, but I personally would not hesitate to wear either based on what you've said about your itinerary. However, depending on if you are one to partake in those 'vices', I might advise exercising some caution.
@Exceeder, funny enough I will be visiting Thailand next year and I'll be wearing my YG DD40.

[pavinc]

Thailand is quite safe.

[Jackie Daytona]

Spent months in Pattaya a few years back with no issues. Out and about almost the entire time. Didn’t spend a lot of time in Bangkok but was there for a bit as well.

thank you!!

[jeffgo888]

Thanks everyone..sorry to be a worry wart..
just wanted to enjoy and attach memories to our treasures, so to speak...

[ukbbc]

Thailand is very safe, as long as you keep away from getting out of control on alcohol or other vices.

Wear what you like, on the plane I normally see PP, AP and abundance of other high ends.
