Traveling with a Rolex Makes you Safer

Not sure I agree with this? What do you guys think?

Came from an article on Bloomberg.

In dangerous areas, he relies on nice watches...

"I was working on a project in Singapore, and an ex-[Special Air Service] soldier told me to always wear a nice watch: Don’t flaunt it, but have it with you.  He had a stainless-steel Rolex and wore it everywhere.  He told me that no matter where you travel, a good watch—like a Rolex—is like currency and is something you can always use to barter to get yourself out of trouble.  You always hear “never have anything nice on expedition,” but that soldier’s advice was smart and practical so I always wear a “tradable” watch that can help get me out of a bind."
