New York is probably the safest it's ever been, still need to be smart and aware of your surroundings.

RichM · 19 October 2018, 11:34 PM

Thanks

I'm heading up there for 3 days toward the end of this month. Even though I lived the first 50 years of my life in NYC, I've decided to leave the Rolex home.

MinMay · 19 October 2018, 11:44 PM

He will buy another one

I go to New York regularly and always wear my nice watches. The story in the link is pretty bizarre. Who drives in New York, smoking a cigarette, and hanging their 30 year old arm out the window.

I agree. I always wore my Rolex in NY. I just feel the older you get, the more of a target you become.

PLNYC · 20 October 2018, 03:41 AM

Must’ve been targeted. How many people can tell a Patek from another watch unless they know about watches? Generally NYC is pretty safe, but you’d still have to be cautious of your surroundings

tudorbaja27 · 20 October 2018, 04:14 AM

These threads just kill me.
"Robbery in Montreal"
"Robbery in NYC"
"Robbery in Montreal"
"Robbery in London"

I think we all know robberies happen. The fact that some get posted here make it seem like it is an all-so-often occurring event. The places mentioned above are generally safe. But yes, at times, s*** happens.

I recommend "Enlightenment Now" by S. Pinker - for those who know what I'm talking about.

I agree with this. Perfect.

Wesley Crusher · 20 October 2018, 04:16 AM

Strange story.

Anyway, anything can happen anywhere. I personally feel very safe in NYC and wouldn't hesitate to wear a nice watch there.

X2. Very strange.

enjoythemusic · 20 October 2018, 04:23 AM

Maybe the owner wanted to get the insurance money?

He’s in a car versus bikes in Midtown my guy

Fat_ninja · 20 October 2018, 06:30 AM

So maybe I shouldnt wear my DD40

bayerische · 20 October 2018, 07:06 AM

So it can happen in Italy, but not in the US...?

mtrunner · 20 October 2018, 07:41 AM

I just in NYC this week and wore my Rolex and didn't think anything of it. Can happen anywhere.

enjoythemusic · 20 October 2018, 09:22 AM

What's retail price and what are they selling for in the real Market? The more I think about this, the more I think, you know, is probably much better than trying to have to sell that thing on the open market.

Fat_ninja · 20 October 2018, 11:42 PM

Are we sure this is midtown? I didnt read that. I be more than shocked if this was midtown propper.

Why would it shock you? The biggest meth/crackhead population per sq ft is in mid town.

Syed117 · 21 October 2018, 07:21 AM

Haha. Well that's a new one.

Way too many people at most times of day.

Which makes it easier for the thieves to get away on bicycles. The street cyclists really carve it up in NYC. There is zero chance the victim would catch them.

As for driving with arm out the window, I have done that many times but I will now keep my bodily parts inside of the ride at all times

Danny83 · 21 October 2018, 12:11 AM

Ive never seen a Patek owner smoke cigarettes

IKR? Minimum 5 year aged cigar is the proper choice.

HarryLime · 21 October 2018, 05:30 AM

As a New Yorker I'm also suspicious of this story...

Imagine being a thief... a thief who can spot a Patek... following this guy who is in a car... and suddenly the guy just stops and dangles his arm out the window? What are the odds?
