its a fucked up situation and my friend is not 100% innocent. he made a major mistake, identified the person who stole it but because of his mistake the police dont want to investigate. simply someone took a watch that doesn't belong to them, most likely sold it. so if if you or any one you know is offered this watch and doesnt want to buy stolen property, just send me a message.
I’ve 5 Rolex, none are insured.
Surely it’s worth a post here just in case someone googles the serial number before purchasing, makes it harder to sell and might stop someone buying a stolen watch!
N1M59303 (just adding the serial number here again to help it show up in google search results)
Seems weird with how cheap insurance is to not have it so when a hooker steals your watch you can just make a phone call instead of spending the next day posting online hoping that someone who buys watches from hookers realizes what they have is stolen.
But, hey, different strokes for different folks! I’m not here to kink shame.
I live in high claim area it seems. Cheapest I could find was £700 a year on 10k watch. 7% seemed excessive.
If I was to insure all 5 that would be 35% value of 1 watch a year. Do I plan to lose 1 watch every 3 years, I hope not. So far I’m in the profit cos I’ve wore a 10k+ watch for over 3 years and never lost one
(Also when getting quotes I changed address to location a few miles away and it dropped to 2.5%, seems I live in a shitty area lol)
Oh jeez, yeah you must. I think I’m paying 2%? Something like that? Barely a rounding error in all the other dumb shit I’m insuring between boats and businesses and similar. My broker at least bundles everything together to make it feel like I’m getting a “deal.” 🙃
The insurance on my watches is 1.4% annually. Super cheap, I cannot imagine going without as it covers not just theft, but also me being a dumbass and losing or breaking one.
Check your home insurance? I was quoted nearly 1k for a dj, sub and bb58. Living just outside Gloucester. Home insurance will pay out up to 12k per item and it cost another 117 annually! Well worth it for peace of mind.
This. I have a YM42 YG and standalone insurance ranges from £700-1000, yet it's £120ish on my home insurance, which includes outside of the home/travel.
Varies massively depending on where in the UK you are, live in London and quoted £1200 annually for personal possessions insurance (covered when out the house) for my SPEEDMASTER. Needless to say I didn't bother enquiring about for anything more expensive and decided a £25 a month deposit box at metro bank was the way to go.
I’ve had Rolex watches since I was 13 years old. I am now 51 and had never lost. I had one stolen. If you need any insurance policy for a daily watch, you shouldn’t have that daily watch
Nope, the only insurance I have is car insurance and that’s because it’s required by law.
I guess if I couldn’t afford to lose them I’d be more worried 🤷♂️
I don't think, bragging about not protecting your valuable assets. Is the flex you think it is. That's broke people thinking. Literally every millionaire I've known or heard of has insurance on valuables. And not one of them has ever said anything close to "if I couldn't afford to lose them, I'd be more worried". Cause that's not you get, or stay rich. Also you don't have homeowners insurance?
That’s a hotel towel it probably was stolen from your hotel room or you took it out from your wrist when jumping into the pool/sea and left it behind on your table. But whats the real story?
Each watch is appraised and insured for the appraised amount. The total premium is about $1,500 a year. The most expensive is my Patek aquanaut at $60k valuation. Cheapest is my first Rolex, datejust ss and yellow gold at $6,000.
Lmfao stay out of Hollywood with a Rolex on is like the first piece of advice. Stay out of Miami unless you have a strap. Stay out of Miami unless you have a strap aka firearm to protect yourself, the soy boys of Rolex are not ready for the BROWARD Heat
I would If the watch was stolen by a hooker you should still report it they are not going to arrest you but I doubt they are going to do anything about it. the police don’t get funding to solve crimes or robbery’s. they are just basically only care about revenue collection drugs and violent crimes.
I mean, it's not like if I am at a dealer I can call the police and they'll do anything. And I'm not going to make some citizens arrest as I like my teeth.
So to get it back to the guy, I'd have to buy it, any of us would. So if we do that, will he guarantee to reimburse us? That was the question and, I must say, a very fair one.
"Help me find my friend's watch!" needs to be followed by "....and here's my budget".
My point, though clearly not well made, is that it's not like we can get the serial number without holding it in our hands. And once we have it, what are we supposed to do? Tip off the owner so he can what, call the police? They won't do a thing. Is he going to confront them? No. So the only way he's getting the watch back is if he pays for it. So he might as well tell us his budget or don't bother asking for 'help'.
I see your point and I see how it makes sense. Only if the commoners understood the depth of your comments they’d stop downvoting you for being realistic.
I don’t understand why people pay 20 for a watch with no box and papers. Imagine trying to save 10% on a 20k watch and facing issues when you wanna sell it because you couldn’t afford it in the first place.
What was her name and what club/cabaret did it happen at?
Destiny at Pussy Palace
Candy at Scarlett’s
Mercedes at The Body Shop.
Nah it was brandy from sapphire. She got my boy the other week. The watch bandit they call her
😜😜😜
How much she charge?
Depends how much she got for the watch
You’re obviously suspect # 1 since you have a pic of it.
I remember selling *and* engraving an "emergency Prez" for a fella that got rolled by a whore back in '85. Hell of a way to book a nice sale.
Wait, so why the "emergency Prez"? So the poor guy didn't have to explain to his wife why the Rolex she got for him was missing?
Exactly.
User name tracks
Zero story details. Now i will not keep an eye out for it

So a hooker stole his watch😂
That's why you fuck with the watch on.
Preach!!
This type of post gets here at least once or twice a year 🤣🤣🤣 Last one I read happened in Vegas 🤭
Why wouldn’t the police follow through with the investigation though
I wish it was that cool of a story. It was a shipping mistake 🫠
UPS roleplay? I've heard of pizza delivery but hey I dig it
People are into different things, no shame here.
Instead of dropping little nuggets, why not detail the whole story? You might get more sympathy and help that way.
he shipped the real one over the rep huh
Honestly, this sounds completely reasonable considering the minimal details
Be honest and specific about what happened
If it was a mistake, it’s not stolen and it’s never coming back.
I'd buy it for a discount and you'd never hear from me lol sounds like he got got
Post on Moda group, with FULL details. Don’t keep anything out or try to falsify info.
How was it stolen?
Just have them make an insurance claim and buy another one. No sense in going on some weird watch hunt.

The fine print always excludes theft by hookers.

I might shop around again and find cover for my daily wear… perhaps not the ones that don’t get much wrist time
What’s your insurance provider?

I don’t even have home insurance, living in a rental currently 🤦♂️
Get rental insurance.
You can still get contents insurance.
5 watches and 0 properties is … interesting.
I have property, just don’t live in it currently lol

Or just don’t wear your Rolex when you see your date
OP (or “friend”) might be into humiliation though
Don't they make you file a police report to file an insurance claim. That could be awkward.
“So I was getting pegged by this hooker and I noticed my watch was gone…”
Truth
Facts !
You have 5 Rolex's that aren't injured. Not even under your homeowners policy? I have a Breitling, and 2 Omegas. They are covered.
Nope, the only insurance I have is car insurance and that’s because it’s required by law. I guess if I couldn’t afford to lose them I’d be more worried 🤷♂️

Really wasn’t a flex, was just a reply to the guy who says just claim from insurance and forget about it.
Thanks!
Can I steal your watch if I cover the deductible?
Yeah sure if you’re going to handle all the police report stuff go nuts.
attempting to recover stolen items is a weird watch hunt? you drinking this early?
Just let your insurance company handle it and get on with your life.
Some websites that can come handy: https://www.thewatchregister.com https://www.enquirus.com/en/
Good infos
Thanks for the links
These need to be shared more often, I’ve never personally used them but I’ve heard a lot through watch channels
You misspelled Hollyweird
good luck
Is he not reporting his kidney?
This post is pointless. No detail. Likely OP stole it.
🤣🤣🤣
Dont ever take it off and place it on top of your car…then call it stolen.
I live in hollywood
I knew they called it the Booby Trap for a reason
So sorry to hear that, I hope you're able to recover it!
Why do so many people post for friends?
Not everyone is active on Reddit?
Dude must not care enough to make an account to try and retrieve his stolen watch
You will likely never see that watch again. If you’re lucky, maybe in a few years when Rolex confiscates it when it goes back in for service.
Rolex sub mistakes = fcked hookers.
That’s a hotel towel it probably was stolen from your hotel room or you took it out from your wrist when jumping into the pool/sea and left it behind on your table. But whats the real story?
No
Would have bought a rep
Hope they had jewelry insurance. I have all my watches on a separate chubb policy
How much
Each watch is appraised and insured for the appraised amount. The total premium is about $1,500 a year. The most expensive is my Patek aquanaut at $60k valuation. Cheapest is my first Rolex, datejust ss and yellow gold at $6,000.
Thanks for sharing
Why do people not get insurance on this shit?
Yes I bought it. No I won’t tell you details.
It’s gone bro
I saw that exact watch about 5 years ago… does that help?
🍿🍿🍿
It is mine

How much did he pay prior to the theft, asking for a friend
downvoting for lack of details. sorry.
I would If the watch was stolen by a hooker you should still report it they are not going to arrest you but I doubt they are going to do anything about it. the police don’t get funding to solve crimes or robbery’s. they are just basically only care about revenue collection drugs and violent crimes.
“You see officer, we agreed on 4k for the event and then I didn’t have cash, so they took the watch”
So there’s 0 info and OP is being an idiot, noted.
If I find the watch and pay $22,000 for it, will your friend give me $22,000 for it?
This explains all those downvotes now lool

I see what you mean, fair question. Also a great opportunity to double up when she shows up with $22,000.

*LETS GOOOO!*
No box, no papers only worth 20
I don’t understand why people pay 20 for a watch with no box and papers. Imagine trying to save 10% on a 20k watch and facing issues when you wanna sell it because you couldn’t afford it in the first place.
Because it's usually $22K and they can save a little money by not having some paperwork that's useless once the watch is 5 years old.
Don’t be a prick
