It can get dodgy down there sometimes, trust me. Wear something that won't put you and you loved ones lives in jeopardy
CS - they're all insured an so are our lives, just would rather not give myself or my beneficiaries a reason to cash out :)

It's between the AP and the Citizen at this point.

Talk about the choices. Haha.

Option 5 is it. Maybe before you leave leave you can give it to a local that was a help to you. Or just a special tip. It's a better idea all around.

DD2 and RO too dressy. How about a new AP? I highly recommend this.

I guess the Brietling since it is the least expensive.

I like option 5, g-shock or a skx007

I have seen to many shipmates come back beat up and having stuff stole from them... I only wear "nice watches" in UK/US/CDA

That being said leave your high valued watches at home in a safe.

To the OP I would really adhere to the others sentiments about keeping your valuables at home. its really not about having your watch stolen or about being robbed. its more about actually getting hurt.
