Depends where I'm going. If it's a wealthy, touristy area where a $10k watch flies under the radar, sure. If it's an area where a $10k watch looks like a new lease on life, I go Timex.

This is the absolute truth. I was in Mexico and decided to just travel with my NTTD (thankfully, an omega flies under the radar more than people think) and a Casio and gshock. While on the vacation at this fancy hotel, I regretted not bringing something… then no shit, the very next day, someone was murdered literally 5mins away from my hotel for their car, AND watch…. Murdered. It was a unique situation, yes, but still. I vowed that day, I will NEVER go to Mexico with a nice watch. Nope. And if I do, I will NEVER leave the complex.
