I wear my Pepsi in NYC frequently. However, I often wear long sleeves that I roll up or down depending on the situation. I have no problems wearing the watch on the train, but I typically roll down my sleeves...

Wearing a Pepsi in NYC

Realistically, you Should be ok but no one can say with certainty. Lots happening in the city right now and to be honest I don’t wear my Rolexes much in the city anymore unless I will be in the car or the office majority of the day.

Watch theft is definitely a thing. I know 5+ people who have gotten robbed for their watches in the last few months. Most of them happened downtown and not near where you’re staying, but I do have a very good friend who got robbed for his Nautilus on 64th and park Ave in broad daylight not long ago.

Just be aware of your surroundings.

Surprising in that area. I’ve worn different gold Rolex’s in manhattan and not thought much about it. Going back soon and was going to wear a Santos with a diamond bezel. I don’t ride the sub way but need to be more aware.

Cops told my friend that someone spotted him at Sant Ambroeus (77th and Madison) and followed him back down to 64th and park which is where it happened.

My son lives in Brooklyn and commutes into Manhattan daily wearing his two-tone Datejust - which is not subtle - and has never had a problem. His girlfriend lives in Tribeca so he is traveling the Subway all hours of the day so he has seen it all. He is as close to a native as a New Yorker can get, so he does nt look like a tourist. As somedoct else said, situational awareness is essential.

If you wear it, you will be deader than a Boeing whistleblower.

I’d wear it.

I’m bringing my GMT BLNR to Europe in a few months. I’m wearing it everywhere I go.

But admittedly, I’m not so sure about the subway system in NYC. It seems like there is always something bad going on…

Sounds like a great trip, Central park is a fantastic area to stay in. As for wearing your pepsi while taking a subway, NYC is generally safe, especially in well traveled areas like Central park and on a subway.
