Was helping all morning with my best friend who is on a business trip in Montreal. He was at a meeting last night and ended it at a bar and left by himself. Soon after he exited he was jumped and beat pretty seriously. He is now in the hospital with broken ribs, jaw, a closed eye and numerous scrapes and bruises. Luckily he left his passport in his hotel and also had an extra phone there that he uses for work. His personal iphone, wallet and gold GMT were all stollen. Sad situation and just a reminder to always be mindful of where you are, who you are with and what you are wearing.

That's the worst. Hope your friend has a speedy recovery, and those responsible for his current situation are caught and justice is served 10 fold.

Uggi · 16 October 2018, 05:05 AM

Very bad business.
Hope he recovers OK. The scum involved will get theirs I'm sure.

gilluminati204 · 16 October 2018, 05:10 AM

Very shity what happened to your friend. I hope he has a speedy recovery and gets his watch back. Very sad and unfortunate.

Sad world we live in. Best wishes for speedy recovery

That’s awful, hope they catch those POS and your buddy recovers quickly

joli160 · 16 October 2018, 05:29 AM

Good that he made it out alive,
Hope they catch the robbers

travisb · 16 October 2018, 05:33 AM

Geeez! That’s terrible! Hope for a good recovery and locating those scumbags.

Sad times indeed. I hope your mate recovers quickly

sutats · 16 October 2018, 05:37 AM

That's awful Eric. Thankfully no lasting damage done. Hopefully all items and Rolex serial is reported to the relevant organisations in due course. It's likely incidents like this that people are in favour of The Purge. From various footage and posting of muggings, majority of the victims seem to be targetted on a merry night out.

mas12 · 16 October 2018, 05:40 AM

Very sorry to hear this. Scary indeed. I hope he makes a full recovery soon and eventually replaces that precious timepiece.

LittlePud · 16 October 2018, 05:57 AM

Holy shit... I live in MTL and it's usually pretty safe. What area was this?

MinMay · 16 October 2018, 05:58 AM

damn, another incident.

I know a lot of folks don't think robbery is real in their town... No place is safe. bad people will do anything for your expensive watch. And there are a lot of bad people out there. Watch your surrounding folks.

Even my coworker doesn't know I wear my watch daily at work until I told him while we were chatting about Rolex. I keep it discreet from everyone...

Yikes, I am in Montreal quite often and never encountered such brutal violence. Where did this happen?

Bummed to hear this as I too live in Montreal, normally way up the list of Safe Cities.

oldman2005 · 16 October 2018, 06:11 AM

Ouch! Good to hear your friend survives, I heard from some parts of the world people got their hand/arm chop off for a Rolex.

RLX_NY · 16 October 2018, 06:17 AM

Sad word we live in, such to hear but luckily it wasn't worse. Here's to a speedy recovery.

77T · 16 October 2018, 06:18 AM

I am sorry to hear of the attack on your friend and his severe injuries. Glad you can be helping him.

Thank you for sharing the wise warning as we all must become more vigilant. A crime of opportunity can happen anywhere.

Terrible.

azs.77 · 16 October 2018, 06:31 AM

Really sorry to hear that. Hope he recovers quickly, both physically and mentally.

This situation just goes to show that even in a place like Montreal, we have to be careful about our surroundings.

Horrible news; I hope your friends recovery is quick and full. Hopefully the watch was insured or will be recovered.

Jim Smyth · 16 October 2018, 06:37 AM

Hope your friend recovers quickly and that justice is served to those that acted very badly. This is also a reminder to all those that continuously say on this forum that no one ever notices your Rolex/Watch. The bad element out there always notices and when your least suspecting it will do you great bodily harm. Dont ever let your guard down and be careful flashing around your high dollar watches!

snowvapor · 16 October 2018, 06:44 AM

that's horrible to hear, and I'm from Montreal. hope your friend is doing well.

It happened outside a bar called La Voute

FTX I · 16 October 2018, 07:04 AM

Outrageous. I really hope your friend gets better soon and the scumbags are found.

IMHO, goes to show that even in one of the safest countries on earth you're not safe to go to a bar and leave by yourself late at night if you're wearing a gold sports Rolex. It's a watch that gets extremely noticed. If you're drinking, your control of the surroundings gets weaker every glass you have, you don't know who's there and if you have bad people around you, I mean, it should be avoided by all means in the world we live today.

R!$ · 16 October 2018, 07:23 AM

sorry for his loss
thankfully he is still alive
