Ya but what about people up on burners ? Or people who don't use their google log in on every device ? I don't discriminate, everyone should have Jomashop bookmarked.

My bad, I didn't know there was so much overlap between people who used burners and people who liked shopping online. But you're right, Jomashop is pretty tight.

I get spooked about no manufacturer warranty.

I don't own any crazy expensive watches but even my mid range ones are like $800-$1500 bucks for service outside of warranty.

When I was in Mexico over NYE, i can't tell you how many Rolexes I saw, white gold Sea Dwellers, Pepsi/Superman Rolexes, etc...we are talking 50K Rolexes...in the swimming pool. They were all Brits.

I said to them, as we were talking about watches and stuff and I said that I never travel with My Rolex. Brit guy says "mate, we can't wear them in London, they will cut your bleedin' arm off... this is the only place I can wear it safely!"

London is brutal now. Can’t even take your phone out someone will ride by on a bike and “nick” it.

I have a relative who is a Brit. They tell me that the NHS is really in bad shape. Have things gotten so bad there?

Is the NHS in some trouble right now? Yes.

Do you have to hide your watch or it is going to be stolen off of your arm? No.

Did Covid finish them off? the NHS was once highly regarded.

Is it funded entirely through the government? or is a system similar to Germany?

Underfunding and attempts to privatize services instead. In other words rather similar to the situation in Ontario.

You absolutely need to be cautious these days. At least a little bit of situational awareness.

I mean that is true in most major cities.

I spend a lot of time in London, always take the tube around town and I don't have any more personal property concerns there than I do in any other major city. Mind you I'm not rocking a $50K Rolex.

The night before a colonoscopy is just like the night before Christmas.

I wouldn't say cautious. You definitely need to have some self-awareness I guess.

Most Rolexes that people are rocking in every day life are nowhere close to $50,000. More like $10,000 for the popular models. A GMT Master II Pepsi retails for like $10,500.

The thing about major cities is that there is a lot of wealth concetration anyhow. Walk around in Midtown Mahnattan and count how many Rolexes, Omegas, Panerais, IWCs, Cartiers, etc. you see. It's ordinary.

Obviously if you are in East New York the calculus changes but I'm shocked that people would be afraid to wear a Rolly in the posh parts of London...
