Here's an interesting article I came across today. Certainly something to keep in mind for those who travel with their watches.

checking high end items is the owners fault

Isn't that like blaming a rape victim because she wore provocative clothes?

Come on, you've got to be pretty dumb to actually check valuable watches into your hold luggage. What's the issue? Surely, they're not too heavy to for their hand luggage

Numbskulls

The phrases "asking for it" and "too stupid to own a Rolex" come to mind

And they don't call it the bay of thieves for nothing......

I wear my watch when I travel, so they' d have to pull it from my cold dead hands, so to speak.

Asking for trouble traveling with multiple watches like that. Just take one watch with you on you person and travel.

Agree.

My wife & I are headed to Cancun next month. Looks like I'll be wearing the Sinn on my wrist & G-Shock in the hand carry. The rest of the babies are staying home.

You never put expensive high theft items in your check-in luggage? Carry them with you at all times. LOL!

My wife had her Yacht Master and several other pieces of jewelry in her purse inside a non descript jewelry bag and the TSA agent distracted us both with very bizarre behavior. She was laughing and gesticulating quite exuberantly having us hand her trays and asking us to pass trays along the line. When we arrived home, we discovered the bag inside her purse was gone. Bottom line, watch these crooks like a hawk!

Don't be so harsh, now. He might be looking at 2 or even 3 weeks suspension from TSA based on his actions.

And here's an article on one of his airport brethren:

I'm over the phase of my life of traveling with multiple watches. It's just not worth the worry and hassle. I only take the watch on my wrist.

Keeperoftime · 28 July 2011, 07:25 AM

Wow. Definately carry on all your watches

It's just so easy to prevent by keeping them on you person. It's better to be safe than sorry, that's why.

You should be able to place your wallet out on your lawn and not worry about it. How come more people don't do that?

Do you go on vacation without stopping mail and newspaper delivery? Most don't because it's just advertising that you are not at home and making it easier for crooks.
