I think the worst thing that might happen to in Sydney with your watch on is a Tan.

Most people don't notice watches today as they use cell phone to tell time. If they do notice the won't give it a second thought.

so you'll be fine


I even wore them using public transport in Sydney trains, busses and all the seedy places in the city.

Hardly anyone will notice....there isn't a great many Rolex wearers in Australia I believe, compared to asia and the USA.

And of course, if any members are up to a small GTG we could of course meet for dinner or lunch.

Go ahead and wear it. I wore and continue to wear mine even using public transport. If you keep to yourself, no-one really cares!
