·The 6ft 5ins version in the books or Tom Cruise ?
With increased local armed robberies, I’m no longer wearing Rolexes

The former. I refuse to acknowledge the latter.

·Here are some happy snaps of the knife
An old friend I’ve had it for about 40 yrs, it’s been well used and abused, always held an edge and funnily enough, it’s been the best case back opening knife I’ve ever had… much better then the designed for purpose jobs!
I only found it’s case back opening capabilities when I was away from home and needed to open up a watch that had water ingress, in order to dry it out.
It’s Japanese made, using 440A stainless steel for the blade.

·Hahahaha after reading about this 6ft 5ins giant MP in the numerous Reacher books it's hard to reconcile with Tom Stump as my missus calls him
Almost as convincing as the tough soldier of fortune, South African mercenary Danny ‘DiCaprio’ Archer. I have met a couple of real ones and their faces could crack open a walnut / they took XXL in body armour (if they bothered with it ;0)

Now you've got me started 🤦
As an ex boxer, even a lowly amateur I've always found Sylvester Stallone totally unconvincing as Rocky.
I watched the first 2 films but gave up nd didn't bother with the rest.
When the first film came put there had never been a southpaw heavyweight champion, only one champion shorter than he and the likelihood of another White American champ was very very remote.
He didn't look like a boxer, move like a boxer or punch like a boxer.
Roberto Duran said Stallone was the slowest human he'd ever been in the ring with and Duran uncharacteristically pulled his punches.
What really really p1ss1s me off about him is that he's more famous in Philadelphia and America as a whole as a boxer than hundreds of all time greats who're my heroes.
Rant over, thanks.

·Are other brands such as Omega even safe to wear now in the UK? I wore my Omega when I was in London a few years ago, no problem and that was before all this theft and murders happening. The last thing on my mind at the time was me getting robbed, especially for my watch. For my next coming trip to the UK, I'm seriously contemplating if I should wear my Omega. Getting ridiculous to be afraid to wear a watch to a certain location.
Will most likely wear my SM300MC on the nato strap which looks really below the radar and no bling to attract attention unlike the AT or maybe the SMP.

The short answer is yes it is fine. You just have to be aware and be sensible. Being too flashy, being on the wrong street or tube late at night, not being alert/aware of people taking an interest in you - then it is a different situation.

·Would it be fair to say that the main watches being targeted are the more flashy Rolexes such as ceramic GMTs and Subs? Those things stick out like a sore thumb. I can't imagine an Explorer or OP getting as much attention as they are more likely to fly under the radar. Except maybe the Tiffany dial.

I've worn my CK859 multiple times when I'm London for work. Pretty sure it's only hype pieces or particularly blingy / high value watches. It's about being sensible I think. Driving a bugatti and wearing an RM is asking for attention, not all of it positive...

·Regardless of whether or not it was prudent to wear a watch like that in public, I don't think that anyone "deserves" to be attacked and brutally murdered by a sociopath with a hammer. That's like saying that an attractive woman with a short skirt deserves to be sexually assaulted. Crime is crime. You don't blame the victim.
I mostly agree with the sentiment but there are exceptions….
