I live in Philly work in Philly and wear my watch all over Philly. I have never ever felt threatened. Oh and by the way if any of you Philly guys are up for a few beers send me a PM. I belong to a local organization here in S. Philly and we are having a Happy Hour Tomorrow Thursday. I will give you the details. I promise I won’t mug you. We also have lots of law enforcement type people in my organization.

Thanks!

Basically it's sort of a different mentality in Sweden. Since almost everyone could afford a nice watch or a Porsche it really doesn't get all that attention with a Breitling on your wrist. Those different colored plastic watches catches more eyes. Strange huh?

Are you referring to that music group Swedish House Mafia, or
genuine gangsters with nothing better to occupy their time?

Every day. Perhaps my 6'4", 250LB frame gives me false security. However, I've never been mugged nor has anyone attempted. Then again, I'm also not in high risk areas very often. I more worry about damaging or scratching versus theft.

That would be genuine. But it was rather funny!

Thank you for clarifying. In today's global deterioration, any watch could
be stolen anywhere, under any circumstances. So, insure them, enjoy
them, wear them, & to hell with the felons. As long as no people were
injured during the execution of the theft(s).

The difference is that here in Arizona, people presume you are packing concealed. :wink: Therefore, no worries.

Great comments all!

Totally agree with you natesen. We sure didn't buy em to collect dust.

And about iphones being bigger targets, for sure. And the phones have clocks on them anyway, so what do thieves need with a watch anyway!

I wear it daily.

I'm 6'3, 270 lbs, 6% body fat - not worried about getting mugged.

You guys rock!

I just got back from Fairview Mall here in Toronto, stopped into the La Swiss there where I bought my Blackbird on the weekend. All remaining watches are now 50% off! Including Breitlings......however....the only models left are Bentleys. Hmmm, could that be due to the fact they they retail for around $15,000? Not a bad deal to get one for $7,500! Not sure of the models, but the round face ones have brown dials and that probably explains why they are still there.
