Because of scatter gun marketing everybody has heard of Rolex, so probably more risky to wear than watches from the smaller top makers which most people have never heard of!PSA: be mindful of your surroundings out in public and don't flash your nicer watches out and about, nowhere is completely safe apparently.

Thieves are almost always targeting watches with the greatest mass market appeal (like Rolex) versus some more obscure high horology brands unknown to the average non watch enthusiast.Because of scatter gun marketing everybody has heard of Rolex, so probably more risky to wear than watches from the smaller top makers which most people have never heard of!
Having a true beater is amazing - I didn't think I'd love the "Casioak" G Shock as much as I do, but I might actually wear it more than my Root Beer Rolex GMTFor the first time ever, I bought a new watch for travel (arrived home today) as I don't want to take any of our Rolex in the current climate.
As it happens I quite enjoyed wearing it (Tag F1 quartz on rubber strap) and not having to worry about scratching it, smacking it about etc. A proper beater watch.
As my wife didn't take hers she was always asking the time, so I'm going to get her something similar.
I hear yah.I didn't think I'd love the "Casioak" G Shock as much as I do, but I might actually wear it more than my Root Beer Rolex GMT
Have the same Casioak, but the light is so so so terrible, I don't wear it if there's any chance of low-light/evening. Fun, but certainly very quirky.I hear yah.
I've put it on a wide modified leather strap cuz I didn't like the plastic strap.
Now it looks like a proper watch and I love it!
PS Did you notice the top of the markers reflect light in different colors?
It's such a nice touch!
Too late…you’re already getting out of a Porsche Taycan, so…PSA: be mindful of your surroundings out in public and don't flash your nicer watches out and about, nowhere is completely safe apparently.

Speaking of Casioak, this is my current two watch travel set when I fly, since I can change time zone on both fairly easily.Having a true beater is amazing - I didn't think I'd love the "Casioak" G Shock as much as I do, but I might actually wear it more than my Root Beer Rolex GMT
Nice to have something super lightweight and not worried about banging around doing yardwork, working on cars, or losing while out boating
The Omega won’t let you down. Their movements are superb. Did you ever end up getting one?Good luck on the Daytona, especially if you're trying to buy at retail price.
I have my ambitions set much lower and eyeing the new 2021 Omega Speedmaster or the Tudor Black Bay Chrono, Panda dial.
