Naples puts you in harms way with their Ex-con program
I am really mad over the fact that Mr. Mendoza probably didn't know that he would be assisted by Ex-cons when he got off of the ship. It brings home the fact that it could be anyone of us that loves to wear our Rolex watches everywhere we go. Now this really will make me think twice when I see a thread on this forum that ask the question ( IS IT SAFE TO WEAR YOUR ROLEX HERE AND THERE?)

If you are not able and willing to calmly hand over your watch to a mugger then you are WEARING A WATCH YOU CAN NOT AFFORD. The watch clearly means too much too you...beyond what a watch you can afford should mean to you in a life threatening situation.

I beg to differ. I'll be calling to police and telling them the coroner should show up too.

its all about looking at the situation, and how to deal with it. as my uncle once said, thieves value your life less than the watch. so if they are gonna have to knock you for it, they will. often in cases like this, the thugs will whack first, ask later. these are not civilised people.

Maybe, Mr. Mendoza had a special relationship/history/whatever with this watch. I've heard a lot of people saying that comment but it is really biased. Some people will refuse to be a victim. If I was at my own home, and someone wanted to rob me for my watch, I would reach for my G26 and seal the deal on that meow. If I was in Mr. Mendoza's situation, I would've handed it over without a problem since I was travelling in an area I'm not comfortable with. In the end, it has nothing to do with being able to afford a watch. |

Unlikely, and unwise.
Mr Mendoza felt the same way.

Mr. Mendoza did what was right and just, he paid for it with his life...but so have so many other great men.

I'll spend the rest of the trip searching for an adequate replacement. Do they sell anything but Panerai in Italy?

yeah i dont know about this. obviously the watch is not worth your life. but the idea of someone just taking something from you would drive anyone nuts.

How can you say it is safe or not safe to wear your Rolex in country X or city Y? Too many variables. |
