No reason to wear a Rolex when travelling

 

I have a few expensive watches and wear my $200 Seiko(which I love as much as my 10k watches) when travelling

I bought a gorgeous Omega that hasn't missed a second in 3 years in Samui 2 years ago

 

I use that to travel with too

Tough luck for that Brits, he still smiling because he will get that amount of money from his insurance. So, where's the CCTV proof of that lady entering the condo? Any security guard in that condo too?

Does  insurance for theft cover loss when you were bringing a woman you met by chance back to your condo room?
