Datejust Stolen From Hotel Safe in Amsterdam — Pics

If the hotel staff has access to the safe and can open it... is it really a safe?

Watch: Two-tone Datejust Serial: W220T162

I'm an airline crew member and my colleague had his two-tone Datejust stolen from a SAFE in his hotel room in Amsterdam.

He believes he was spotted as he walked in the lobby in uniform with his crew. He left the watch in the safe with some cash before going into the city. All was gone when he came back.

He believes it's an inside job.

Corporate security said the the hotel didn't see anyone go down the hall except a flight attendant and the card log says no one entered his room. The hotel is the NH Amsterdam Noord Hotel.

He had bought the watch at an AD and has all the receipt. He reported the watch stolen with his insurance and Rolex USA.

The not-so-friendly lady at Rolex USA told him that due to international law, stolen reports are not shared outside the U.S. when reported with Rolex USA. So unless it is serviced in the U.S., he'll never see it again.

His insurance paid him back the retail price.

When he told me the story, I offered to alert fellow TRF'ers and ask you guys to keep an eye out...
