SoCal is the home of a large percentage of the Rolexs ever made, you'll feel naked without it !

Very true. Can't swing a dead cat around here without hitting a dozen of 'em. Welcome to the west coast...

Ok it looks like I'm gonna have to get it back from the safe. Wife will not be happy, she hates that watch....
Well in that case hook up with Tony "Just Rolexes" David Perepetualman88 or Alfred (FNZ) all SoCal located and get a new one but make sure it's the first day!

Bring it! From what I've been reading on other threads, the only place a watch is not safe is Costa Rica and Scotland...

Wife probably hates it because when you wear a sea dweller you tend to stare at it more than the wife! Common problem so just bring it and enjoy

Just spent an overseas 3 week business trip away from home, both field and office work, my SD never left my wrist. Came away with a much better appreciation for the watch both in ruggedness and understated good looks. As an LA native, I'd say take it.

Lol rain in SoCal........ That's a funny one. The only thing here is a light sprinkle

I would say leave the watch in Italy and buy a new one here

If your in Malibu there is an AP dealer at the lumber yard.... A must visit
