Can you wear luxury watches in York?

I'm an international student so I'm not too familiar with the UK but I've seen a lot of news surrounding watch theft in the UK. I will be studying at York and was wondering if it's safe to wear my Rolex there.

What model is it?

If its a steel bracelet....maybe, but I still wouldn't. In general terms I would say no because universities aren't particularly secure places overall. Unless you are intending to wear it 24/7, you'll need somewhere to keep it and there won't be safe in your room. If you go and do sports, you'll have to take it off at some point for safety if nothing else. There's also the possibility of going out, alcohol, dancing etc.

My advice would be, if you don't have one already, leave the datejust at home and get yourself a Seiko or Tissot to take to university.
