Hello forum

I want to begin by explaining that I am not anticipating arrest or anything like that, I'm just curious lol

So, suppose you get pulled over, and arrested while wearing your watch

What happens then?

:

First, I think the handcuffs might bang up the watch.

Second, I don't think you can walk around jail wearing a Rolex (I wouldn't know).

Third, what happens to your watch while you are locked away?

This may be a very naive question, I don't know. But I looked it up and it doesn't look like somebody has asked this before.

Get it insured and FUHGETABOUTIT

Well, once you were taken to the police station and formally booked, your personal possessions would likely be removed and inventoried. You’d get them back once you posted bail or were otherwise released. You’d likely get some scuffs from the cuffs while in the back of the cruiser, but that would be pretty bad a$$ed.

And the next question, Can I use my Rolex to post bond? I doubt it.

The watch will probably get scratched, but that's the least of your worries at that point. When they process you, they will take all of your personal items and catalog them. You will get them back when you are processed out.

The Rolex will do you no good in the big house.

Unless you die James Gandolfini style, no one will steal your watch.

Good question!

I wonder how many of the forum members would rather serve the time than give up their watch !

pilotjim · 6 February 2018, 11:01 AM

You will generally be required to remove all jewelry before being placed in a cell. Then you will be given an inventory form to sign, listing what was taken from you. Upon your release, your property will be returned to you.

I have been detained while wearing my DD2, I got detained for going 85 in a 65 and he didn't care about my Rolex

DoctorA · 6 February 2018, 11:02 AM

I guess we ran out of all the “what if” questions on the forum and now we are hypothesizing arrests!!!

Haha

This forum has provoked various thoughts from me.

I saw a thread about airport security asking you to remove your watch.

Then I saw one where somebody accused a forum member of stealing a watch at a gym...

Things like that get me thinking.

So here I am asking questions

Detained for 20 over??? That seems a little harsh. 15 over around here is normal Interstate speed.

This.

I would talk watches with you while we were waiting for you to be arraigned though.

Bristol, have you returned?

They inventory your personal items but you may have a dirty cop steal it

16610v · 6 February 2018, 11:44 AM

I dont know the answer but there is a possibility that some cops will swap your rolex with a fake one and return back to you.

Glidelock · 6 February 2018, 11:45 AM

Is it safe to wear your Rolex while bending over for a bar of Soap in the Big House?

Was waiting for this

Flstfirider · 6 February 2018, 11:49 AM

Many years ago I was a Sheriff’s Deputy doing bookings at the jail. On several occasions we processed individuals wearing Rolex watches, usually for DUI. On their property inventory, we would note “silver colored watch” or for the occasional yellow gold President...”yellow colored watch”.

I’d love to poll my cell mates on the relative merits of the SubC vs the GMTII over our free bologna sandwiches!

CDNWatchNut · 6 February 2018, 11:54 AM

I just take my watch off and put it in my pocket when I get arrested. Problem solved.
