Don't go. Later get kidnap and lolex also gone [laugh]

Seriously, don't wear lolex there. It will be observed and attract wrong attention.

When I go, I just take the bus with the hoi polloi and move around with grab phv service.

No worry about getting carjacked, car get dinged and scratched, meeting road-rager, etc.

bro, i spent on avg 1-2 weeks in MY/JB every month to relax, to enjoy their food, and just explore around. . 

When i first started doing this years ago, i avoided wearing my watches  becos they are all rollies. I soon realised it wss the locals who are wearing rollies, driving Merc, Teslas, BMWs, Lexus, etc  and there are plenty of them everywhere. EVs are plentiful becos they mostly live in landed and thus, charging is convenient  

Most pple in SG is probably not aware that the northern neighbours middle class, quite some of them are actually living a more affluent life.

It depends where you hang out over there. There are affluent areas and those less so. Just like KL.

Yes, you are right.  It also depends on the place. MY has many big cities and small towns, the big cities should be fine, but the smaller ones I will be more careful too.

Ultimately, I feel the behaviour of the individual  while in MY(or any foreign country)  is more important.  Essential to stay humble , polite , respectful and fair  in a foreign country.

😆 Depend on you.

If me, I would be ok to wear a OP (not the Tiff or Celebration dial though).  The SS Explorers (I and II) should be fine too. I will avoid all the rest, but  I am the overthinking type.😆😆
