Like walking around the city center as a tourist (not sitting in an office). Are things as bad there as the media suggests, or is it overblown? Should I just stick with a boring Seiko?

If you need some context (even though this story is about the numbers being down, it is a LOT of thefts, and many of them seem pretty brazen). 29,000 watches reported stolen in 5 years, or 15 per day (though I don't know if those were all muggings vs. other stuff like shoplifting). Still, that's a lot...

If you were spending a week in London, would you wear a nice watch (or not)?
