Official Stolen Watch Thread (Help For You)

Hello everybody. I would like to offer a free service to those who have had a Rolex Stolen in the United States.

As my work allows me for investigative purposes, I have the ability to look into pawn shops and even eBay sales (in some cases) to locate stolen merchandise.

Many of you have seen me do this for people in the past here.

What I can do for you. (Don't post actual serial numbers IN this thread. PM only).

I will send them through my national pawn shop database. If any information shows up in regards to your watch, THEN you will need to let me know your Police Case Number, and agency that took the report. I will contact that agency and pass the information onto them as to keep my access as solely law enforcement eyes only.

This is a long shot for people who have had Stolen Rolex watches as not every Pawn shop uses this system.... But A LOT DO.

Depending on the information, it also searches eBay, Craig's list etc (even though those are harder to find.

Feel free to post your stolen watches here.

The info I will need to do the search is following
1) case number if a report was taken
2) serial/ model/ etc
3) zip code from where watch was taken
4) IF you have any suspects, a name wouldn't hurt either.

This will be a free service to you. I am just here to help.

As I have said, if you look at my posts, I have attempted to do this for several people here. Let me know if you need help!

Thanks.

Haven't succeeded on the Rolex forum yet as I think some people realize they may get more out of a watch selling it themselves.

I have however found diamond jewelry, chainsaws, copper wiring, 4 wheeler etc.

It only takes finding one Rolex to make this service worth it though.
