sounds strange, 4 guys on two moto's and two of them on one moto escaped? The article said "shoot out" but no one was hit, must be some great marksman?

Don't sport bling in Colombia. It's made strides, but people forget it's still a third world country.

I've read enough over time that wearing a watch here can get you into trouble.
I remember that guy from New York who was ambushed for his fake Rolex watch, and ended up getting shot dead.
I don't wear a watch because the time is on my phone, if I did, I'd get asked in Spanish and wouldn't understand what they're asking, or if I did,
I wouldn't know how to reply.
I gave my fake Rolex to my girlfriend's son, he, he.

I use this sloppy cheap-a$$ed Timex. It should get me no higher than strata 4~5

UM don't kid yourself - I was robbed,took my shitty watch,shake the watch and you could hear the guts move! Rule of thumb...any decent woman wouldn't ask you the time of day.

I always wear a watch ( old school I guess) but i think it cost me $50, I carry an older Iphone 5 - that I think is worth about $50 now, I usually carry less than 200 mil, never carry my passport ( sometimes a copy) - so worst case of I got robbed - would be out about $150 - certainly nothing worth fighting over.
A much bigger concern would be to be robbed when carrying passport and losing it - a giant hassle and replacing it can be pricey, if living in Colombia with a cedula - then no need for it - but no cedula - sometimes good to carry a copy.
