Well, in South Florida it isn't the safest place (from the stories I've heard anyway) to wear a Rolex Daily. Couple of my friends got robbed of their watches (one guy at an ATM, another while fishing on a pier) and they wasn't even relatively at "bad" locations. So many people vacation to Florida that commit crimes and go back to wherever they came so there's a less chance of catching them it's just not worth it. I usually wear my watch for holidays or when I'm going on a nice date somewhere fancy. After that it's back into the safe

Hmmmm. Not so sure. I live in East Fort Lauderdale and every swinging dick has a PM Rolex. Nobody cares. Totally safe to wear whatever you want. I personally wear a PM sub with flip flops and a BMW Cap + shorts just about every day. Nobody notices my watch. I’ve been asked one time by a fellow WIS at a sub sandwich shop of all places about my watch. Don’t believe the South FL thing for even a second.

Well I am sorry you don't believe it.

I've definitely been asked by very shady people "is that a Rolex" very late at night at a gas station for example. (call me careless for forgetting to put gas during the day, it happens)

few more stories I have but since you won't believe them I don't wanna waste my time or yours.

Well maybe be more specific. To generalize all of SoFL is what’s unbelievable. Perhaps a ghetto in Miami this all went down? I can tell you that for the most part (with a couple exceptions) you are safe in East Fort Lauderdale (which therefore debunks your generalization of SoFL)...

Sounds like you need to wear a gun with your rolex.

Exactly my point. My only watches that are in the safe are the ones that are outside of their rotation because I’ll wear something else a whole month.

I would not wear a Rolex ball cap with a Rolex.

I’d get that ball cap back to the vault before slipping on a watch.

I wear my daytona with jeans, t shirt and trainers every day.
I ride a scooter in to work. I dress how i want to dress and wear a watch i want to wear.
In this age, be happy, be comfortable and enjoy your watch.

It was the Thatcher / yuppie years where they said ‘dress for the job you want, not the job you have’.

Beauty of a sport Rolex is they can be worn with pretty much anything. I keep mine on walking around the house in my underwear.

If it's insured you have nothing to worry about.

Digging all the WIS death metal fans. I have a sweet collection of death metal sleeveless tees. You will find me frequently wearing Rolex with casual attire.

The only thing I would NOT wear with a Rolex on my wrist is...


Another Rolex. It just wouldn’t look right.

Otherwise, I have no restrictions or limits.

I wouldn’t wear one with a Rolex hat and Rolex t-shirt, but that’s just me.

Depends on the Rolex. A Submariner would go with anything from short and flip flops to a Tuxedo, but a Moonphase Cellini might look out of place with corduroy shorts and tank top at the beach.

Watches shouldn’t be a restriction depending on what your wearing. I wear whichever watch that puts a smile on my face that day. I sometimes feel lazy and put on my gym clothes, but i feel like bringing my 116503 Daytona would make me happier!

Every minute that the watch sits inside the bank's safety deposit box or inside your safe is another minute you are robbed from the pleasures of enjoying your watch. Wear whatever you want with your watch, if someone judges you, that's their problem.

Is anything off limits? is shorts and a t-shirt acceptable with a Rolex on your wrist? or is a Rolex only doable with a suit and tie in your opinion? would love to hear your thoughts

now that the holidays are over I'm going to put my watch back into the safe so I'm on my way to the bank with my YMII on my wrist wearing a Hoodie and Jean's and I admit I feel like I shouldn't be wearing it right now lol
