Three Sobering Postings About the Dangers of Wearing Watches

Three postings about the danger of wearing nice watches (or, come to think of it, any watch at all, as the bad guys are not studying them with loupes and buying guides) --

From Fratello -- https://www.fratellowatches.com/killed-because-of-a-rolex-the-sad-reality-we-live-in/

From Quill & Pad -- https://quillandpad.com/2020/08/29/how-safe-dangerous-is-it-to-wear-your-watches-in-public-with-tips-for-minimizing-the-risks/

And a Miami TV station -- https://www.local10.com/news/local/2020/09/02/miami-dade-man-robbed-at-gunpoint-of-40k-rolex-after-arriving-home-from-work/

As people say nowadays -- Stay Safe!!
