Doesn't take much to get stabbed or shot down, the former most likely in europe. Get insured, give priority to your life and your loved ones.

Would such a watch

My life and health not worth being put in jeopardy over luxury items. The guy could have had a gun or a knife. Or even they get in a fist fight and carlos breaks his hand and can't race. Idk. Glad it worked out safely.
