Since you asked... I would wear an under the radar watch...
A JLC Geophysic. At least you will avoid the " Hey look, he has a 100 000 USD watch on the wrist "! Best, Nicolas
i would take the 5712R.
it looks like the most suitable of all. This message has been edited by radone on 2012-02-04 11:13:53
Sorry but I don't understand the question.
Choose the one you wish to wear during your journey. So you will visit shops, go to restaurants. Not a very risky life expect maybe for your wallet. I imagine that you will not use a sledge-hammer, you will not replace a dummy in a crash test... any of th...
Be careful when placing your watch in the basket for x-ray ...

Don't take off the watch at security, most will not insist on. One scratch might ruin your day.
If you don't feel comfortable in NYC.. I don't know where else you would?
NYC is the mecca for fine timepieces in the U.S. NYC has more billionaires than any other city in the United States. It also ranks #2 in the world for most billionaires living in the city. Besides billionaires.. there are more millionaires in NYC than any...
"A Lot of responses"
Thanks! Sounds like a PP in White Gold or Platinum on the High End or 5712R if I were to go with a gold look. Another thought my A. Lang & Sohne Datograph on a Platium Bracelet. This watch I think is right up there with Patek Philippe. Do you agree?
As a NYer here is my advice....
....stick with any white metal and you will be fine. First of all it's winter and you won't be walking around sleeveless. When indoors there won't be any safety issue Just use good judgement and enjoy your visit here
Personally, if you are that worried about what to wear
And the unlikely possibility that you may get mugged, I would wear a Casio G Shock, that way you will blend in with about 95% of the population. Though with the collection that you have named, I hardly expect that you are the type of person who will be wa...
Follow your style
I would recommend you to chose the watch that will complete your fashion style. For me it should be 5712 with denim or casual wear, 5070 with smart casual, 5970 and 5270 with wool suit and 5170 with formal suit. Have a good trip and a happy come back! Den...
I live in New York City
I live in New York City and I wear my 5960r, 5712r, 5980 1a, day date ii rose, hublot F1, rolex daytona steel. I'm actually wearing my 5960r to the rangers devils game tonight. Its been on my wrist since the weeknd and I can't take it off for now ha ha.
I lived in manhattan all my life.
I wear my watches here with prudence. A yellow gold and diamond dial daytona gets compliments but also stays hidden under a long sleeve. My work watch is a steel aquanaut and i am in the south bronx! The drug dealers surrounding me wear have fancier taste...
Style vs safety
As a 25 year manhattan veteran, I assume you're not asking about safety because 1) all your watches are expensive, 2) you're only taking one watch ( ie it's on your person), 3) you don't seem like the ride-the-subway-at-midnight type of guy, and 4) you're...

Now you've sorted the watch...
Do you need help with any other aspects of your attire?
Hard one to decide
I would go with whichever one you hold dearest to you! You only live once!!!
