Very silly video. This man raising his fists, like he's going to fight? He has no concept of the harm that might come his way. If you are worried, wear a G Shock or price equivalent. The thieves aren't stupid, and will spot you in a bar or a restaurant, and will wait with a reception party outside. And then the decoy watch suggestion? Stabbed for an Invicta!!!

Decoy watch? Why go thru the trouble of carrying TWO watches, taking off the expensive watch and put on a decoy watch while you are out and about? Just take off the expensive watch, put it in your pocket and go wrist commando. Must you have a watch on at all times? Or do you rather they think you have an expensive watch than let them see you don't have a watch on your wrist? And let's be honest, if they are robbing you of what's ON your wrist, b/c it "looks like the expensive model", then the chances are they are going to rob you of what's in your pockets as well.

...and boxes and papers in different places.

Nice but polar goes HARD , getting one this month.

I will always be safe wearing a Rolex... As i will never be able to afford one 🤣 I have worn a Casio F-91w all over the world, and never fear about being stabbed for something that tells the time of day!

It’s super simple: Don’t wear them around minorities- especially Black.

Love the British limitations. As an American, I can and do carry a .45 ACP pistol. No worries. Instant regret for anyone taking my stuff.

Nice. But Polar is FIRE ❤

Where do you get insurance for your watch?

Tip 1. Don't be so insecure you need status symbols.

When I go on vacation I buy a sweatband and cover my watch up with it. Effective? Don't know , maybe it make it more conspicuous, but at least they cannot see whats underneath.

Its a case of thinking about the factors of it being lost or stolen in scenarios or areas. I would never wear a nice watch in London in public. I would remove my watch and never put it in a tray without putting in a bag in airport security and finally its never openly displayed on bare arms and covered by cuffs

Especially Now London has taken over New York for Murder's and mugging Related incidents 😮🤔👿⛑️🦺

I carry 1911 45 ACP or Glock 19 sometimes both

Can you please tell me how much import duty and customs will I have to pay for 2200 GBP watch from Japan

My top 5 tips 1. Don’t wear the Rolex. 2. Don’t wear the Rolex. 3. Don’t wear the Rolex. 4. Don’t wear the Rolex. 5. Wear my Tudor, Hamilton, Steinhart or g shock. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Just don't go near any kangz and queenz in the ghettos

I don’t travel with my Rolex. TSA workers are grimy and I do NOT trust them. I will wear my Apple Watch instead lol.

Great vid. thanks so much, super helpful. Wish me luck out there!

Very good tips. Like the idea of a decoy watch. Saw a story where a guy lost a Rolex out side the airport, guy came up on motorcycle and pointed gun at him. There petty sure some spotter saw him around the airport. So yeah wear a cheap watch when traveling.

I find that carrying my 9mm with my watch is a nicely added feature.

Great video. Absolutely right...be vigilant and be smart. Dont wear very expensive watches on public transportation, use Uber and Lyft (get a regular driver). If having a night out go in a group and desinate a safety. I've got two ex military (Rangers/ Spec Ops) guys I've known since high school. I'm 6'4" but they're both 6'6" built like linebackers and both are happily married. So I call their wives and have them coordinate a night out. Great time with besties and zero hassles. Traveling if I take a luxury watch (I rarely do) I dont go out to mass public or night cl7bs with it.

Dont post pictures of your watches on social media.

What’s the point of talking a decoy watch? If you want to replace your Rolex while passing the dangerous area, it’s better to use anything cheap that does not remind the Rolex. Otherwise you could be attacked anyway. I’m not sure you will have enough time to explain to the robber that it’s just an Invicta. And even if you manage to explain this the upset robber might stab you anyway.

Here for the comments

Why a Rolex Explorer (1) is such a great Rolex watch to own. Total class yet way under the radar! Most people have no idea it’s a Rolex. Wearing a Sub is a completely different vibe and you can feel the attention, while no one takes a second look at the Explorer. But YOU know it’s a Rolex and a damn nice one too !

I have better things to worry about than wearing an overrated, overpriced and vacuous status symbol.

I wore my Rolex on the NYC Subway for 10 years back and forth to work five times/week. It's best not to look like a scared little girl when wearing it. These latter day soi boys are so soft they crumble if you give them a dirty look. It's pathetic that grown men are afraid to wear what they own.

Best tip is to not live in a country or state that doesn't protect you're god given rights .

I don’t feel sake wearing Rolex watches in public. End of story. I just sold an all yellow gold AND a SS Daytona to an AD back into the Rolex CPO program.

nkuwan 's watches are worth it！

The very fact that clips like this exist is the reason I seldom wear either of the two Rolex's I own (Sub and gold oyster perpetual). If you need to be in any way 'aware' regarding crime because of what you're wearing then let's face it, what's the point and why bother?

Does your wife know you've tipped the whole world off about the possible Rolex in her handbag? Might not be best pleased! 😄

I would yell "it's fake!"

I'm going to Target to browse their collection of decoy watches.

I have two friends that accompany me when I am wearing my Omega. Maybe you know them...Smith & Wesson?

Although many people know names like Rolex, Omega and Patek Phillip- most people honestly don't know the brands well enough to spot them from close distances. I’ve never had any fear of someone targeting me to steal from me. I’m quite situationally aware as a matter of habit. Nothing of significant value is ever stored in my home as people are often robbed by people they know. Anything that is likely not to be worn each day is always locked in a bank vault. With that said-I’d never wear anything valuable in unfamiliar areas-nor would I travel by airplane with timepieces costing more than $1,000. There simply too much risk there. Speaking to your suggestion about taking the watch off to be placed in your wiife’s handbag: I wouldn't do that at all. Handbags are prime targets for theft. If you feel the need to take your watch off of your wrist-it’s far better to put it in something like a money belt inside your trousers to keep in on your person and out of areas where theives would be able to quickly check before fleeing the scene. There are also locking clasps that are made to fit Rolex timepieces to keep thrives from being able to remove the watch from your wrist without having to apply enough force to break the spring bars mounting the bracelet to the watch head.

Have common sense….in a city environment just don’t flash your watch in public and be mindful of your surroundings. I wear watches on the subway all the time.

Thank you for your wise advice. 30-years ago I was attacked in the foyer of my New York apartment building at approximately 1 AM ( I was in the restaurant management business and arriving home from a long day at the restaurant). The attacker immediately jumped my back and began a stranglehold on my neck with his left arm while stabbing me on my right arm and shoulder with a sharp knife. I was about to lose conscienceless as he said, “Give me your watch!” I owned a beautiful gold/steel Rolex Datejust that I purchased new in Texas in 1978 after graduating from college. I was afraid that he had an accomplice with him who either could have killed me or done serious bodily harm with a gun or knife (I was both tired and exhausted from not being able to breathe). I slowly took off the watch and tossed it away from me to see who my attacker was as he ran to retrieve my Rolex. He quickly left the building (there was no accomplice). I eventually went to the hospital and was treated for multiple wounds. My wife was 7-months pregnant and I was only able to tell her that I was “hurt, but OK”on my way home. I didn’t want to tell her my details of the attack in her expectant condition. I have since come to terms with the fact that if I were to go back and forth to work on the NYC subway that it would not be wise to own a valuable watch simply to fit in with the clientele that I saw every day and night. I still would desire a Rolex replacement, but I would find it not safe to wear, especially when crime is mostly unstoppable.

Nothing wrong with a Seiko or Citizen .

Rolex is a bit risky ,sadly, better to wear a Casio Duro instead which looks a bit like a submariner.

wear a Casio...problem solved .

Such a great video. Thank you. Sibscribed

Tip #1: Wear your Rolex at home. Tip #2: See Tip #1.

Here’s a Tip, Don’t wear a Rolex watch, don’t make yourself a target, don’t flex, be humble

I have 9 ways to stay safe, according to the metric system

My advice is buy a Rolex, BUT never wear it. Store it at the bank, and bore the shit out of everyone you meet, telling them that you own an amazing watch, but it's too amazing to ever wear.

I always wear a black sub non date on a nato strap (a nod to James Bond) or a Tudor when in unknown areas, especially London. It’s a shame but you wouldn’t go out and not close your front door 🤷🏻‍♂️

Good video. In no special order, a few more ideas. Carry a decoy wallet complete with only plastic hotel keys and a fat wad of paper monopoly money! If robbed, throw it in the opposite direction. Carry a small pistol., and become proficient. Avoid parking garages. Valet park. Avoid dimly lit, backstreets where no one else is around - stay in more crowded areas. Limit alcohol. If one is worried about a Rolex making them a target; then one’s expensive dress and manner, would serve to make one a target for robbery in general. And let’s face it, there are women and elderly people who simply cannot defend themselves. Women WILL dress flamboyantly with other jewelry, in addition to watches. It’s who they are. Typically, these people DO limit their exposure on the streets, to the point, that nothing will ever happen to them. And that might be the best strategy of all. Stay off the streets period. Uber or drive door to door. If you can afford a Rolex, expensive dinners, expensive theater seats; then why compromise on your transportation? Why risk the subway, ever? Not me. If you lie with dogs, eventually you will get fleas.

9:40 Don't worry, my wife has no idea what I've got 😂 But what if the intruder has watched Marathon Man and keeps asking the wife "where's the safe?" (see what I did there).
