I generally don’t wear my high-end luxury watches on vacation - but especially not in London. My go-to has been my Rado Captain Cook and Zodiac Super Sea Wolf, both beaters that I don’t mind getting wet, scratched etc. or even worse, lost or stolen

I’ve worn mine in London and Paris and was fine. That said I’d still suggest against it and be on the safer side. Just wear something cheaper or unassuming to be 💯 safe.

Sub or gmt

Hell no, too recognizable.

Unless you look like a Bad MFer (unlikely)

Which model?

Is watch theft common in London? It has never been on my radar of sketchy places, but good to know!

Definitely not

Wore GMT (insured) in London for four days and no issues. Was mindful of my surroundings and never ventured into areas I was unfamiliar with. Will say it was hidden under jacket/shirt cuffs a good amount of time.

My moonswatch has been my go to for my fairly frequent London trips

Moonswatch and Blancswatch are the best for this

Why would a luxury watch brand make/sell connected or smart watches? What is the business reason for it? To me it just kills the brand value. For instance I was a big fan of Montblanc but after I see their smart watch line up I instantly devalued the brand in general. Same for Tag (tag is questionable anyways), or Breitling. What is your opinion on this topic?

30th birthday present watch accessory ideas.

A lot of knowledge on here so asking for some help. It’s my partner’s birthday and I’ve no idea what to buy him. He’s a watch fanatic - Pateks (sports and dress), Audemars (sports and dress), Rolex (sports), Omega (sports).

I’m obviously not buying him a watch for his birthday (in his dreams!) but any idea for some good accessories? He’s already got a PP watch winder, and has bought multiple nice straps for the dress watches. I’m completely lost.
