New York is probably the safest it's ever been, still need to be smart and aware of your surroundings.

RichM · 19 October 2018, 11:34 PM

Thanks

I'm heading up there for 3 days toward the end of this month. Even though I lived the first 50 years of my life in NYC, I've decided to leave the Rolex home.

He will buy another one

I go to New York regularly and always wear my nice watches. The story in the link is pretty bizarre. Who drives in New York, smoking a cigarette, and hanging their 30 year old arm out the window.

I agree. I always wore my Rolex in NY. I just feel the older you get, the more of a target you become.

PLNYC · 20 October 2018, 03:41 AM

Must’ve been targeted. How many people can tell a Patek from another watch unless they know about watches? Generally NYC is pretty safe, but you’d still have to be cautious of your surroundings

tudorbaja27 · 20 October 2018, 04:14 AM

These threads just kill me.
"Robbery in Montreal"
"Robbery in NYC"
"Robbery in Montreal"
"Robbery in London"

I think we all know robberies happen. The fact that some get posted here make it seem like it is an all-so-often occurring event. The places mentioned above are generally safe. But yes, at times, s*** happens.

I recommend "Enlightenment Now" by S. Pinker - for those who know what I'm talking about.

Wesley Crusher · 20 October 2018, 04:16 AM

Strange story.

Anyway, anything can happen anywhere. I personally feel very safe in NYC and wouldn't hesitate to wear a nice watch there.

enjoythemusic · 20 October 2018, 04:23 AM

Maybe the owner wanted to get the insurance money?

X2. Very strange.

Floorguy · 20 October 2018, 05:31 AM

He couldn’t chase them?

very strange, veeeeery strange!

Fat_ninja · 20 October 2018, 06:30 AM

So maybe I shouldnt wear my DD40

bayerische · 20 October 2018, 07:06 AM

So it can happen in Italy, but not in the US...?

I agree with this. Perfect.

mtrunner · 20 October 2018, 07:41 AM

I just in NYC this week and wore my Rolex and didn't think anything of it. Can happen anywhere.

enjoythemusic · 20 October 2018, 09:22 AM

What's retail price and what are they selling for in the real Market? The more I think about this, the more I think, you know, is probably much better than trying to have to sell that thing on the open market.

He’s in a car versus bikes in Midtown my guy

Fat_ninja · 20 October 2018, 11:42 PM

Are we sure this is midtown? I didnt read that. I be more than shocked if this was midtown propper.

Why would it shock you? The biggest meth/crackhead population per sq ft is in mid town.

Danny83 · 21 October 2018, 12:11 AM

Ive never seen a Patek owner smoke cigarettes

IKR? Minimum 5 year aged cigar is the proper choice.

HarryLime · 21 October 2018, 05:30 AM

As a New Yorker I'm also suspicious of this story...

Imagine being a thief... a thief who can spot a Patek... following this guy who is in a car... and suddenly the guy just stops and dangles his arm out the window? What are the odds?

HarryLime · 21 October 2018, 05:31 AM

Also just read on DailyMail (great source, lol) that this happened in the East Village.

Syed117 · 21 October 2018, 07:21 AM

Haha. Well that's a new one.
