If it happened to me it could happen to you
This morning the wife and I decided it was high time for her to take a walk around the local market as she she slowly recovering from her stroke.
We went down to the local market in San Juan de Los Terreros, spent about 45 buying a few baubles and then made our way back to the car park. We were about to drive off in the car when a young woman tapped on the drivers window which I lowered. She said she was looking for work and did I know anyone who was looking for a cleaner. She suddenly grabbed the Rolex and started to tug it off my wrist and of course I was tugging it back. My wife saved the day by whacking the woman about the head with her walking sticking which must bloody hurt because she ran off.
The police aren't interested because they can't prosecute unless they witness the crime.
It certainly made a change from the normal daily routine.

Right now today I am done with wearing Rolex and just want nothing more to do with it or watches in general. The enthusiasm has evaporated. If anything had happened to my wife the blame would have rested 100% on me and I wouldn't be able to live with myself.
Never sell a Rolex Mick!!
I imagine your having post related shock which will make you think the way you are, there is nothing wrong with owning a Rolex, expensive jewelry or walking around with £1000 in cash, just don’t flaunt it, wear a Seiko when out in Spain so it’s not on your mind and you can enjoy yourself, lots of places on this planet are not safe for expensive goods but doesn’t mean you can’t go there, just be aware and smart about your surroundings..
