$27k Breitling?

I don’t know much about Breitling, but I didn’t think they were that expensive.

That’s the part that caught me off guard as well

Maybe they misspelled rolex.

There may not be many WiS in that mall

$27k? Maybe it was a bag full of Breitlings.

At least in Candada, they use bear-spray and not fire-arms...

In America too. When I was a police officer, got a call to a naked man ( bloody ) standing in the hallway of an apartment building threatening others with a shard of glass in his hand.

When I get there it is exactly as described above but the landlord has already sprayed the guy with bear repellent. Three officers. One of them runs away into the fire escape dry heaving ( that seriously pissed me off ) leaving me and my trainee who had been out of the Academy three weeks to deal with this maniac. The entire hallway was contaminated with bear repellent and it was awful. The landlord and my cover officer ran out on us. I was gasping for air.

I had based upon the call brought up my bean bag shotgun. Which is a standard Remington or Winchester 12 gauge shotgun only painted completely yellow so as not to be mistakenly loaded with lethal rounds.

I racked the slide and as soon as the naked guy heard that sound he took cover behind a hallway pillar leaving just his left kneecap visible and exposed. I put the bead site right on his knee and after warning him to drop the glass ( about a foot and a half long shard ) I shot him in the knee cap. He crumpled. We pig piled him and he fought hard. Took lots of back up to get him strapped to a gurney and the paramedics sedated him. Good times. Covered in blood.

What's the old saying Sarge to new officers, "You just got yourself a free ticket to the greatest show on earth."

Drugs are bad, mmkay?

[Rocket_Man]

That mall cop seemed worthless. Seems like they will easily catch the other guy. The seller did well to pick a public place covered by CCTV cameras. As usual, thieves are kind of dumb.

LOL @ the Breitling price. Maybe that's what the victim has it insured for. LOL

[MinMay]

meeting at the mall to sell a 27K watch? ..smart...very smart...lesson learn... at least he is still alive today...could have been shot.

[Fabrice M]

I don’t think I have ever heard of a 27k Breitling. Maybe 2.7k would be more like it

[bronzeband00]

$27k brietling? Well, what can I say

[tng11]

Crazy stuff. I actually sold a watch in that exact meet up spot, which is a bank branch in the mall.

Man, I hate when things like this happen anywhere but especially places where I've been before. I hope both of those bastards are captured and prosecuted to the full extent of the law. This really upsets me.

Both were born with plenty of "stupid", one was caught right off, arrested and charged, so won't be long till he sings and the other two meatheads are arrested, charged and go spend some time in East or West End Detention...which are both, NOT happy places to be...enjoy the summer boys in the non-air conditioned city jail!!!

Hahaha that made my day! Serves those bastards right. It's why I ended up trading my watches to a local brick and mortar business. The more expensive these watches get the more hesitant I am to be meeting up with people, anywhere.

Online sales aren't always much easier it seems. Given the aforementioned, I put a lot of thought into what I buy now so I'll be less likely to sell.

The lack of cerebral wattage between the clowns involved in this worked against them. Luckily the owner wasn't hurt. I haven't been to Yorkdale in ages.

[breitlings]

they make breitling tourbilons https://www.breitlingforbentley.com/.../presentation/ about 200k and hand made ones, chronowerks models which tun for about 100 hours on one barrel

breitling is underrated by most WIS. it’s not a rolex but it is better than many.

[TopDog2315]

Damn,

I sympathise for the victim of this assault and robbery. I just recently been victim of fraud/robbery of my Submariner 16610 and while for me it was online and thankfully nobody got hurt - its extremely hard to get over these things psychologically - it really shakes you.

I hope those bastards get caught and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

P.S I strongly believe in Karma and they have something coming - one way or another.
