Has anyone here had a bad experience wearing rolex in Italy?

Any country has its good and bad places. I think that these threads show a lack of respect for the country being visited and is quite frankly, bad manners. Here is the thing, if you don't think it is safe enough to wear a watch to a certain country, then don't go. Why would you want too?

Agree 100% Dave

No offence

I've seen many similar threads of many cities

Just asking

Fully aware UK has trouble spots... And I'd happily warn anyone that wanted to be cautious

No offence or disrespect to ANYONE

I've traveled all over the world to 40+ countries in the past 5 or 6 years alone. I can only think of two occasions where I was without a Rolex or Patek (for specific reasons). I don't think it makes you more or less vulnerable to any problems, just always be diligent and smart no matter if you are traveling with only the shirt on your back or with a briefcase full of cash.

With that said, I have noticed more attention in airports than in cities. You are in close proximity to thousands of people and it's a hotspot for pickpockets, some of which do have a trained attention to Rolex. Always longs sleeves in the airport for me until I'm in the priority security line and headed to the lounge. I've actually run into the same pickpocket at least three times at schiphol airport.
