Travelling to Italy

[Nikrnic]

Just pick up an Orient or Seiko Day Date Sub or GMT and don't worry about it.
Have a great trip...

I would have regretted if I visited Rome for the first time and not wear my Rolex (as well my Ferragamo shoes and Persol glasses while walking near via Babuino..ehh)

Love this city

Lots of WIS in Italy ! Naples does have a bad rep but just be sensible when & where you go and you won’t expose yourself to issues. Same as any other big city

The Italians are more concerned about ripping off the government than ripping off your Rolex ... which 99% of them wear.

Italians, yes. The migrants, on the other hand...

A young guy working on a ferry boat(selling drinks for 2€!) to Sorrento from Naples was wearing a tt sub.
Everyone wears Rolex in Italy haha

I'm not too concerned about wearing my DJ, as I've worn it throughout many European and Scandinavian trips. I may wear it and flip between that and my Tudor when out and about. I was more curious about those that Drove through the area(s) ... ?
We're off to Milan end of Sept and doing a road trip south, thru the coast, Cinque Terre etal, then heading east to the Adriatic side, with a stop in my namesake town. So I was curious about anyone's Driving experience(s).
Ya know what is said about 'driving in Italy'...?!?

Me and my wife drive to Italy, France or Spain every summer. Last year it was Italy, Milan and down the coast towards Monaco. Never had any incidents and i allways wear my watch wherever we go. So does she...

I wear my RG president or YG sub because Italians like to compliment flashy watches

Also Italian girls...

I've recently acquired my first Rolex, the new Sea Dweller (SD43), it's insured but I am wary of taking it on my travels with me, particularly wearing it around Rome and also to get to the Amalfi Coast I have to go through Naples train station. I know that Naples is a hot bed for thieves and pick pockets and that these guys can whip your watch off your wrist without you even noticing.

Just wondering if you guys have experience of wearing a Rolex in these places?

Thanks

I got back last week from going to Venice, Florence and Amalfi Coast. Wore my SS GMT LN the whole time and it was fine - rolex wearers everywhere! HOWEVER, be careful in Naples train station - I’m by no means a safety freak but felt uncomfortable wearing it there. Other than that, wear and enjoy!
