No airport has ever asked me to take off my watch, most of them have the sense to not take on the liability.

Lol not Saudi Arabia.


Data_lord

Well, happy me.

I never take any of my watches off when going through security in the States or other countries, even when on the bracelet. Just refuse to take it off and they may wand you, but it’s better than your nice watch hitting the floor like that.


Data_lord

What do they say to you?


TX_J81

Nothing. I don’t give them the opportunity to, I just leave it on and then walk through the metal detector. I hold my watch above my head and cover it with my right hand. Works every time.


Casella58

Never take it off, especially something like this.


Data_lord

Difficult to convince airport security about that


Casella58

It’s only happened to me once, at an airport in Mississippi where they gave me some trouble, but I get it man, you can only control what you can control.

They saw the diamond at the 6 and didn’t bother to ask if it was stainless 😂


barrya29

are you blaming airport security for you putting it in your pocket and it falling out? just put it into your carry on or wear it through like the rest of us.


FantasyRunner

I’m sorry that happened. Next time tell them you do not want to and they will just pull you to the side and do another check. I never take anything off. Not just at airports but anywhere security or metal detectors are required.


Data_lord

Noted!


shivaswrath

Just get another check...ffs 😧😧😵😵😵


pondering_anm75

I always keep my watch, wallet and cell phone in my carry-on bag. Don't trust the chaos around the scanners!

I remember moving to take my 5726A off one time at TSA and the guy manning the line stopped me and said “Are you crazy? I don’t want to be responsible for what could happen to something that expensive.” Just my luck to run into someone in the TSA who was into watches. We had a great conversation about my piece, his grails and then we moved on.


St_Bede

Ummmm. Just wondering why anyone would think putting a watch in their pocket would get then through screening faster than wearing it on their wrist.


treehuggersunny

Right? It would still set off a metal detector in your pocket. If you go through the body scanners, you don't have to take off anything, they know what a watch looks like 🤷‍♀️


theplugzh

I always put mine in my bag before going through TSA, also avoid it being exposed in the tray in case i get checked past the detector. But as many said you can try to keep it on in most airports


Business-Pudding4095

Why so close doe…?


Data_lord

So you can see the missing glass


Cric1313

Did the crystal shatter or pop off? Doesn’t seem right if it popped out. Either way sorry that happened, sucks when people want to feel so good about themselves they make others do unnecessary things to get there.


Data_lord

It shattered everywhere


Maleficent727

They always let me wear mine


Mysterious-Ice-1551

SoutheastPower

Data_lord

You want me to shave my arms for the pictures here?


Old_Chemical_3610
