Rolex AD Robbed Of It's Entire Inventory

[SeaDweller50]

Perhaps this is the reason for lack of stock? Perhaps the 3235 allows a tracker to be fitted within. Lol.

With the production cut, That AD may have a hard time to refill the case with sport watches. Good luck to the AD

If it was a green van then it could have been Rolex wanting their watches back

It was probably a repainted white van.

A attempt was made recently in WEMPE in Frankfurt Germany, they rammed a car into the glass window, shutters dropped down blocking entry for the attackers and the entire place filled with smoke. I was very impressed with the anti theft procedures.

The gps was not on the watch... Roles has a pillow the watch is in the display that has a tracking device in the pillow.

If that’s the case then I’d better take the pillow of the cat lol

There are now very small rechargeable coin-sized GPS trackers anyone can use. An App does all the work.

Go to your AD try a few expensive watches on and notice that one pillow will go right back in the case and not be left on the tray with the others as this is the one with the gps.

I dont think that AD’s have a universal placement spot for GPS trackers. If I owned an AD the pillow wouldn’t be my only spot. A pillow is not going to help in a situation where a thief tries a watch on and runs. With how small the GPS trackers are I think my spot would be the hangtag. Nobody that tries on a Rolex and runs is gonna take the time to take the hangtag off. And in a smash and grab situation I would think the robbers wouldn’t take the hangtags off until they have reached a destination. And by that time the police are already headed there.

Two crimes were actually committed: they also are selling Michael Kors alongside Rolex.

All jokes aside, I’m glad everyone is okay. Watches can be replaced (eventually). Best of luck to jeweler, maybe Rolex will allocate favorably to get them rolling again?

Late to this thread ... glad to hear that no one was hurt.

I hope they catch the perpetrators

You know, I've tried to live a good life and mostly live by the Golden Rule. But if I decided to cross the line, robbing a well-inventoried Rolex AD would be top of mind. I'd be a lousy robber, though, as I wouldn't want to fence any of the goods... lol.

2th doc... I know they have it for a fact and it is for a smash and grab situation just like this as they have been happening more frequently .

They obviously know the serial numbers for these watches. They’ll change hands a few times and then end up in some unscrupulous pawn shops and on Craigslist. They should tell us the serial numbers so we can keep a look out.
