Dominican Republic

Heading down to an all inclusive resort. Thinking on going into a few local towns shopping. Wear the Rolex or leave it home?

I tried a Dominican cigar the other day, really good.


That's all I know about it.

Depends where you are. You are more likely to be harassed by prostitutes than having your Rolex stolen.

If there's a doubt, don't do it.

I spend quite a bit of time in the DR. Mainly Santiago and Santo Domingo. I wander around all kinds of neighborhoods and always have my GMT with me.

Stay alert, you will be fine.

Depends I think. Bring two watches: your Rolex & one that you can live with if you lose it. If you're unsure, leave your Rolex in the safe.

Wear it, it is safe. I visited there once and enjoyed it.
