We all have heard of the arm chopping stories but cmon, this doesn't happen all too often.

Many members here have traveled off the beaten paths with their Rolex and are fine.

Just use common sense and be aware of your surroundings.

Never bring a one night stand home or to your hotel room to fool around.

That's what public/dance club washroom stalls are for.

He did not even get to give her the 'good news' for it either.

In my eyes simply owning ANY rolex with no insurance policy is fairly negligent and irresponsible no matter how well off a person may be. I would advise that your friend chooses a good insurance company in the future, in order to avoid these types of catastrophes. It is a small world. I hope that you find the crook who did this to your bud. Keep us updated.

I love the rubber necking and Monday morning quarterbacking of these stolen/lost threads. Not. Mine included.


I pray that all of you never have your Rolex stolen. Worse yet I pray that you don't post on here about it so that you can get all the "I woulda/you/he shoulda done this or not done that." comments.

The experience itself of being a victim is bad enough without all the common sense comments.

happens to all of us.

This is (obviously) a serious topic and I am sorry it happened, I hope the perp is caught and punished, and the watch returned. I'll try to add some levity to the thread....

If a beautiful woman voluntarily came home with ME.... I would KNOW something was funny

Hi Gaijin

Yes I agree that this is a despicable crime and I hope the girl and everyone involved gets their due punishment.

A thread like this will, however, will serve as a salutary reminder to the young and randy to exercise either some control or common sense.

No one is going to stop a man inviting a girl back to his room but the comments made here may hopefully, albeit painfully, ram home the message that if you indulge in this sort of thing, either wear the Rolex all of the time, hide it or better still, don't wear it whilst out on the prowl.

Also if the poor chap is married, he will by now have a rather annoyed wife on his hands, so that is another headache for him.

If this thread prevents one more similar incident, then due credit to all concerned in publicising it.

Regards

Mick

I'm speculating, but I would think that someone who can afford a Sky Dweller would be old enough to possess the judgement that maturity brings and not indulge in the behaviors of teenagers. This is very high risk and destructive behavior. A mature adult shouldn't need to lose a $50K watch to learn this lesson.

I'm glad the chap was not assaulted by the woman, and hope he gets his watch back. But the takeaway for the rest of us is to avoid these high risk encounters.
Abdullah, you're like the voice of reason in this thread.
