Paul - this is terrible, and am very sorry to read this happened you.

[SDRider]

So sorry to hear that. I hope they catch the scum bags.

[jrs146]

So sorry. Just terrible.

First, I hope everyone was safe. It sounds like they were thank god.

Second, I hope everything was insured.

Such a terrible thing to have to experience. Hopefully in the end things work out though.

Really sorry to read about this Paul hope you get everything back, and those who done this crime caught and punished.

[Muzz]

[MonBK]

Sorry to hear Paul.

So very sorry to hear this Paul, keep us up to date on the situation.

Sorry to hear man. I had my apartment broken into years ago. I felt totally violated so I somewhat know how you feel. But aside from that and the possible sentimental value of the Rolexes that were taken insurance will somewhat save the day. Especially on that Platona. Insurance retail replacement is 75k. Purchase it from a grey dealer and pocket 25k. And you can use that 25k to purchase a new WG Daytona on Oysterflex. Again I am sorry for the loss and how I know it has left you feeling. But in bad times always try to look on the bright side. Hope things get better.

Maybe let us know if boxes/papers where taken?

Thanks - they did not get B&P for watches. That’s where I got s/n’s for 2 if them. But 2 were bought w/o B&P - and the details of the transactions were on my MacBook. I do have a back-up of it, I just need to find time to buy another one and recover the files.

Just thinking loose watches would be off loaded in a different manner so might have some bearing on the search.

Good luck I hope these scum bags get caught.

Hope the insurance comes good.

Really sorry to hear this, Paul. What a bummer!

2thdoc, not everyone buys insurance (I don't for my old DJ and haven't for 20+ years), and not everyone insures a watch for 1/3 more than they can replace it for with a new one (I don't). Insurance is expensive and not everyone chooses to over-insure their stuff. Not the point of this thread, but I thought I'd mention that.

Here's hoping for the best possible outcome.

I pay around $5/month for my insurance on $19k of watches (2). Definitely worth it and not expensive.

Wow, we pay around $450/year on two watches valued in total at $55,000.

I'm sorry. Not trying to contradict, just offer an alternative "strategy."

[rolex75216]

Awful! I just wrapped up insuring all of jewelry including watches. Did you have insurance?

[77T]

On insurance, investigation, etc I prefer not to comment.

I do appreciate the support and no offense taken about those issues.

My main aim was to get the info in Post#1 to TRF in the hope to help anyone avoid buying my stolen watches.

Investigators suggest monitoring pawn shops of course. Working on an inventory to add to the incident report.

Your continued responses are valued. Please help keep the topic friendly so it doesn’t get locked.

Just terrible, I'm sure you worked very hard for your things.
They can be replaced..I'm sure you are rejoicing they didn't "take" you're life or someone in your family.

[gregmoeck]

what else did they steal or was this targeted for some reason? any other reported thefts in the neighborhood?

[Roll the Lex]

Hope you get the watches back and glad to hear nobody got hurt.

Nothing that hasn’t been already said but let’s keep the thread up top and spread the word!

If that's all you pay then you most likely don't have insurance at all, I would read your policy.

To the thread starter, thankfully you and your family is safe and wishing great things for you sir!
