two days ago a 6263 with PN white dial ( case number 3.031.279 ) has been stolen from the wrist of a well known UK collector and good friend of mine.
I have already done this thread on italian forums.
( this info has been also put by the owner on VRF ).

That is too bad, I hope it is somehow recovered and returned back to your friend.

Frogman4me · 9 August 2011, 11:50 PM

That is terrible news, we shall most certainly keep an eye out. I hope your friend is ok.

Michael M. · 9 August 2011, 11:52 PM

Terrible news, saw the post on VRF, I hope Roger gets it back.

montecristo4 · 9 August 2011, 11:54 PM

thanks to you !
and btw you were completely right saying that this kind of robbery could happen almost everywhere in the world and not just in Spain.

johnbeth · 10 August 2011, 12:02 AM

Terrible news, now we can only hope the goods are somehow recovered.

eparisini · 10 August 2011, 12:05 AM

Tomorrow I'll take off to Ibiza... Bad news for my wrist!!!

Jagatai · 10 August 2011, 12:23 AM

I'm sorry this happened to your friend. I sincerely hope the watch is recovered.
To have this happen during a holiday is doubly upsetting. I'm glad nothing happened to him physically.

Chris B · 10 August 2011, 01:53 AM

Hoping that the perpetrator is caught & the watch recovered

HL65 · 10 August 2011, 02:57 AM

Awful news Marcello- I heard about it first thing this morning. What a great guy and an amazing watch. I hope somehow he is caught as this is a small circle and that is quite a rare watch!

May that thief fry in hell for eternity.

All of them not only that thief!!!!

Paulie 50 · 10 August 2011, 04:16 AM

You never know the minute, so you have to be extra vigilante, i have worn a Rolex watch of one sort or another for over 30 years, and travelled to every continent and never felt threatened in any place, but.... the world has changed beyond recognition in those years, so perhaps people should think about taking a cheap watch with them on holiday, or better still buy one from the " Lucky Lucky " men on the beach. You will then be left in peace for the rest of your holiday. But on a serious note, i truly hope that this watch is recovered

First and foremost glad to hear he came to no harm. It's a shame there are people out there who have no moral compass. On a public service note I'd like to ask if you or your friend can explain what was happening at the time. You mentioned above it happened by sleight of hand. Was he completely unaware until some time later? Was he bumped into? Does he tend to wear his watch on the loose side or the tight side. Anything that can raise awareness to avoid this would be helpful. I'd hate to have to walk around with my hands in my pockets at all times.

TSW · 10 August 2011, 04:50 AM

Terrible news!
I hope your friend will get it back and the thiefes will get what they deserve.

hennabav · 10 August 2011, 05:05 AM

It is so disgusting how these people can live on this earth like that. I say increase the punishment and it may lower the crimes. I'm so sorry for Roger. That was an amazing piece!!

dieseldragon · 10 August 2011, 05:54 AM

Have you spoken to BOTH the Policia Nacional and the Guardia Civil? If Policia Local attended, there will be little or no follow up to the case (there are 3 police forces in Spain), although local police are supposed to help, they are employed by their town, so they do not really have any interest in following up a crime that that may carry on outside their jurisdiction.

marcello pisani · 10 August 2011, 07:47 AM

I have just answered by PM.

cruvon · 10 August 2011, 10:42 AM

That's not good news. Probably the thief would not have known the value of that watch he stole. So hopefully, instead of keeping it for his wrist, he takes it to a decent place to offload so the watch can be traced by a alert shop/collector and returned to it's rightful owner. As for the cops, I doubt they would take this seriously and would be lost in police records, at best they would advice to contact the insurance company like everywhere else in the world I guess. Does Rolex Spain keep a record of stolen watches? Maybe a good idea to put it on register if so.

cruvon · 10 August 2011, 02:44 PM

Looks like a bad day on the forums, another watch stolen here
