Anyone here from New York?

I am curious for those here from New York if there any any New York watch clubs where members get together from time to time to show off and discuss timepieces etc

There are plenty of watch collectors from NY. Check out @nyc_watch_crew on Instagram, we get together many times a year.

In the city as well. Check out Redbar and Complecto. They're an absolute blast - got to meet Roger Smith at one a few weeks back. Watch Time New York has an event every October or so.

I regularly see folks of all sorts rocking Rolex, AP, Patek, etc. in fear city, without incident – myself included. That said, it's not worth wearing something that makes you fret. I avoid wearing watches in SFO / LAX with that logic .

If it makes a diff - I wore a white gold Daytona all over Manhattan yesterday and my buddy had a sea dweller on - no issues at all

That said this was the first time in maybe 3 years I was willing to try that with short sleeves - so what I’m saying is the city has def improved but you never known i guess
