Should I wear my watch to Paris?

[exchange83]

Agree with most people's replies. Just be aware of your surroundings and you should be fine.

Thanks to all that contributed to the thread.

To answer all the replies about "would you wear it in NY"? "would you wear it on earth"? I have traveled to many large cities in the United States and have never been told to not wear my watch. Multiple people have told me to not wear jewelry to Paris. I have never been there so why not ask? Why do people get so annoyed at asking about a place I have never been to? My YG is insured but my SS is not.

I guess I will wear the SS sub.

Thanks for all the positive support.

Lots of HATERS in the world. Lots of "know-it-all" types who feel they're superior to most. Just ignore them, as they will never go away and will always be present in forums like these.

Have a safe trip.

Smoak, the negative reactions to your query are probably due to the seemingly endless amount of "is it safe..." threads that can be found on this forum. I wouldn't let the responses bother you; you've never been there so why not ask people who have in order to get some peace of mind so you can enjoy your trip?

I just got back from a week in France, spent most of my time in Languedoc and the Riviera, but had a night in Paris. Wore one of my Submariners the entire time without incident so I wouldn't worry too much about wearing a Rolex. As others have said, be aware of your surroundings and you should be fine.

Seriously! It's the fashion capital of the world. Wear it!!!!! I'd say TT. Bonjour.......

Had no trouble and sat next to a guy at a cafe who was wearing a dssd one day.

But have you insured it anyway?

Insurance is a wonderful thing to have.

However...it doesn't do much good if your thief thinks a watch would be much easier to take off of a corpse.

Exactly! Why ask us? Wear it or don't. Enjoy your trip or not. All choices only the OP can make.

Don´t worry about Paris. You can wear your Rolex watch. It´s an civilized european city with a regular crime level. Usually the steal handbags and moneybags from people which carry them really visible.
