Which one to wear out of these if you were going to the Oylmpics ?
Starts August 5th and it's in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. I should remain neutral between Brasil and United States if they meet up in a match and my watch should represent both
 or neutral  I have the following watches in no particular order.. 16710 116710 116610LVc 116713 116619 Black Bay Red Here are the flags in no particular order   No security issues I was thinking my SS GMT IIc

I feel a gmt is in order due to the cross between two countries. That is as far as I will speculate ! ;)

The 116710 GMT Master II get's my vote! That'll likely be my next watch mainly because of how versatile I feel it is.

Brasil can be dangerous and Rolex can be a no-no
Take the Tudor if you must or buy a g-shock if you must know the time Unless you'll have a certain level of security with you Only time I went there my company put me in an armored vehicle

I'm sure there will be plenty of police around the events areas but the BlackBay.... Is the safest bet. Not as recognizable as Rolex.

You mentioned "no security issues", if that's the case them definitely the GMT Master II. However, if you're not certain about security, I would take a cheap watch and try not to attract attention in general.

If you have absolutely no security issues then the GMT is the way to go. If any concerns, go low key as possible.

If you are in Rio and you believe you have no security issues, you have security issues.
Expensive watches attract trouble like raw meat attracts yellow jacket wasps in dangerous areas. |

Man, that's a tough call. I'd go with the 116710 as it will be the most neutral in a US vs. Brasil situation.
 Have a great time! I hope you'll post pics for us to enjoy! |

Wow, I can't believe how many people seem to be posting without noticing that Mark actually lives (in part) in Brasil. Hey ho.
Go with a GMT, Mark. Stay safe and enjoy

^^There is blue in the Brazilian Flag AND the US flag... OP says he wants to be neutral.
So blue is both neutral AND represents both. Only color besides white in both flags... Hence my choice for Smurfy

At the Olympics you should probably be wearing an Omega, however, I agree with the sentiment, wear a G-Shock or nothing
