Rolex in Europe
Traveling to Europe, think it's a good idea to bring a sub?

No it’s awful. Crime is massive, gun violence, stabbing, muggings…
…oh no, wait that’s America too. Umm if you feel safe to wear in America, Europe will be fine…. |

Overly specific to answer.
Next time just say which planet. And it’s no. Rolexeses belong in boxes under mattresses. |

Same rules as anywhere else in the world. You’ll be fine in most places - with a few exceptions probably better off than in LA. If you drink with hookers or tend to walk around sketchy neighborhoods leave it at home. Gee. |

No
Because if you go to Geneva (That’s in Switzerland) your Sub might feel the urge to go to the RSC (aka home) for a bit of a spa break.
If you go to London (That’s in England) your watch might feel the call to get a brother. And the cities just carry on with problems. Europe is a great place (well most of it is anyway) and is safer than LA (that’s in the USA) I think.

Depends on where you go but there is some well organized pick pocket and luxury watch thief’s there. If you don’t want to lose it don’t risk it. Rolex is cash strapped on your wrist and thief’s are just waiting for it.

Europe is a very dangerous place. I would avoid getting there.

I don't understand Barcelona.
I don't like to stigmatise a city, but while you're at it, don't forget about Plaistow, Croydon, Hackney, Harlesden... I wouldn't wear a Rolex in any of these London neighbourhoods either. PS. Have you seen Brits sneaking into the Champions League final stadium without tickets? Because I have seen it. |

Rolex in Europe

Be very careful with pretzels in Germany, angry pizzas in italy and I heard that fish and chips in the UK are getting very aggressive these days. I would not recommend bringing a Rolex anywhere near Europe…. |

You realise Europe is a continent? Asking a question like this is as you think all countries are the same there.

Food can be expensive in Europe, so I think it is a good idea to pack as many subs as you can.

I’ve spent weeks walking all over Paris including the subways with a full YG Sub. A week in Barca with a SS Sub and a full month all over Italy in a SS Daytona, including Naples. All fine.
People wear Rolexes all over the world. It’s fine Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

As long as you avoid the east side of the river in the capital of Europe, you'll be fine.

It’s always the same. A lot of people will tell you it’s fine and you need to be aware of your surroundings. Lol. Don’t wear your watches in any big city whatever the country (exception for Singapore, HK, Japan and Dubai) and especially in short sleeves. So many many stories of people getting robbed/ mugged / beaten / killed for their watches.
