The concern of wearing Rolex is snatch thief using 'Parang' to get your Rolex(either its ori or replica)... easiest way for them is to cut your hand....  I will not wear it daily... maybe during special occasion only...

Dude...there are tons of Rolex around the world. Unless you are wearing a all out blinged Rolex no one would hardly notice any SS sports model Rolex.

I wear my Sub all around the world and have hardly felt any unsafe

From time to time, I heard the parang-chopping-hand-wearing-rolex myth, is it scheme to make rolex owner keep their rollies in the safe deposit box ? It is not easy to chop a hand off and take the watch. Not to mention the mess it created. Your hand is not dead wood, dry and fragile. If u r in ur senior years, probably more fragile. also, u won't hold still for him to chop ur hand, right? Back to the question, y not I hold the parang to ur neck and relieve u of ur watch. No blood, no mess, no yelling. And of course, the robber has no personal vendetta against u ;)

+1 exceptbthat I have not bought mind yet.

I'm guessing the less obvious models should be ok nv hard to stare at people watch in my experience. Some of the seiko also looks like certain rolexes too

To the person who wrote that originally: Come on...get a life!

For me no matter what i m going to buy: I ONLY BUY THE THING I LIKE AND I LIVE WITH IT

The only worst case is when i need to buy something i dont wish to have it.

+1 on Rockdaman on buying stuff that you like and living with it

No comment on "get a life " ;D

and again +1 on worse case scenario...........something like the bike I bought and then needing to upgrade much sooner than I wanted :p cost more in the end!

you want Rolex in your own personal history

or

you want to be part of Rolex' history?

if it's the latter, then the easiest way is to start a revolution wearing a Rolex

Kind of reminded me of my good friend who is a big time collector who told another friend when he was bitching why the service cost of his German watch is 5 figures. He said if you cannot afford to play, don't play. If you want to buy watches that cost 6 figures, be ready to pay when service is due.

I have trouble understanding people that want to own a BMW or Merc but expect to spend money for maintenance like a Proton or Perodua. I mean, it goes without saying that that's the name of the game.
