Vintage Rolex 5512 stolen in Antwerp Belgium yesterday

[Jfullm42]

Makes me sick, so sorry Robby, I saw your post on Instagram as well. Will keep an eye out and praying for a miracle

Really very sorry to hear this. Always saddens me to hear such news.
I am praying for a small miracle, I hope you get your watch back.

I am sorry to read of this, but don't give up hope. I know of many stolen watches recovered every year in the UK.

So that I can have your watch added for free to the UK's Safergems / Checkmend Watch Register, would you please provide, either on open forum or by pm:

- the crime reference number
- the police station / officer dealing with the case
- their contact numbers

Without those, watches are not usually accepted on the UK lists. They are worth having your watch in, because I know of some watches turning up in the UK after being stolen in mainland Europe. On-going investigation currently.

Circulating the full watch's number as you have now done is a very practical move. I hope you are lucky!

Robby, terrible what has happened to you but may I ask if you had informed the Interpol?
I wish you all the best in the recovery of your watch, again the most important thing is that you're unharmed, the watch is only an item - not worth endangering your life upon.
Having said this I assume that the justice will be served and your watch will be recovered, keep your hopes up.

Excellent, thankyou. With luck it will be on a couple of U.K. registers by lunch tomorrow.

Fingers crossed.

Many thanks !

[Blakerhodes]

Very sorry about this. Karma will catch up to the scumbag that stole this piece from you.

I'm so sorry to read this.

Thieves are the lowest of the low.

I hope your watch finds its way back to you!!

I'd love to hear the full story mate. Perhaps we can learn from it.

That register is great! I hope it works for you.

Is there anything like this in the states?

Dreadfully sorry for your loss. I've had some real favorites taken over the years and it always saddens me to hear. Tough world out there. Hope you get your watch back.
