HELP! My Daytona has been KIDNAPPED!!!!!
Guys, my worst fear has come to reality! I turned my head for just a second, not even a second, and some FIEND kidnapped my Daytona! I searched in vain, but to no avail. And THEN, I got the dreaded RANSOM demands! With PICTURES!!!! This... this BEAST is threatening to STAB my Daytona with a Knife.... drop it down the garbage disposal... even throw it off the roof of a building! You have to help me stop this... this crazed and evil creature!!!! THEN, the WORST of all!!! I received a package in the mail.... it... it... it was... a LINK. They had REMOVED a LINK from my Daytona and threatened to do one every day if I didn't pay the money! YOU GUYS HAVE GOT TO HELP ME!!!! The only clue... the money was demanded to be paid in NEW ZEALAND DOLLARS And, funny thing, I swear I heard a sheep bahhing in the background when they called me.

Let him keep the watch as it looks like his banana touched your watch.

I am considering travelling to the caymans. Would I likely get a better deal there or stateside? Want to get a SS GMT Master II with blue face/red bezel.

certainly looks to be in the style of the Kiwi, use of props with the hallmark fruit is a bit of a give away. Preparing it for a bath maybe?
I would tread carefully.........

'eh, no worries, if the money is sending it back piece by piece in a few days time you'll have it returned...albeit you'll have to screw it together. Although the damn monkey might keep your end links!

That watch looks awfully close to falling off that monkey's arm and into the sink. Be careful.

In Greece when one knows that you paid a lot for your Rolex
Affectionately they would say....are you sure it's not a "monkey" ?? (meaning a fake)
or ...does "it" eat bananas..??? (as "monkeys" do)

I thought it was funny you had a monkey and a banana associated
with the watch-jacking as many of my friends they will kid with me and call
my watch a monkey just to piss me off......

Need King Kong for this one... You do live in the San Diego area - and they do have an amazing - absolutely amazing collection of primate species at the World Famous San Diego Zoo...

You should call the zoo and see if they know where that bad monkey is!
