It’s very sad to read this, my friend.

I assume I should be a bit more careful in the future. Never thought that it would be that dangerous in that area. Best, V.
Very sorry to read this.

I make it a point that when I’m travelling away from home I wear a cheap watch. I shouldn’t have to and I resent it but I feel safer. Thankfully, you weren’t injured. Best wishes. Kev.
Thanks a lot for your kind words my friend .

I hope it will pop up some day and I hope other people don't have to go through this . Its a shame we are living in a world like this
Wow - how awful.
By: Bounce781 : August 6th, 2019-04:39
At least you are safe! That’s the main thing. We’ll keep an eye out - Linde Werdelins aren’t that easy to sell to the general public. I wonder if they mistook it for an AP Royal Oak or something. Bastards
Thanks for your kind words .
By: Watchonthewrists : August 6th, 2019-05:38
I am sure they thought it was a AP RO . I just had the white strap on it and from a distance it realy looks like a AP then imo. They will need to google it to see what they got . It wont be a easy sell for them i guess .
So sad

It’s so sad to read this. Did they just tip it off your wrist? The only good thing is that you’re not injured. Unfortunately that will probably also mean the police won’t put in any effort in apprehending these bastards. It makes me mad, people like you a...
All true words my friend .
By: Watchonthewrists : August 6th, 2019-05:44
I hope the police will do there job . And i also hope Karma will do his job too 🙏🏻. Its so sad that we cant enjoy our hobby like we would love to do . Now wait till the summer is over and we start wearing long sleeves again
Its so sad we need to do that imho .
By: Watchonthewrists : August 6th, 2019-05:48
Because most of my watches are independents and hardly nobody knows whats on my wrist i thought i was safe . Big mistake 😬 thanks for your kind words
Sad situation indeed
By: matto1 : August 15th, 2019-16:21
I have a feeling that the POS gang thought it was an AP RO Offshore. Best of luck seeing it surface for sale.
Chit!

This is horrible horrible news. Interesting tactic I wouldn't have thought of. I'm so glad you're okay and will keep my eyes peeled for one on Watch Recon and elsewhere 👀
I'm very sorry to hear about this
By: Jocke - Bad Santa : August 6th, 2019-10:58
I really hope they will be busted and you get your unique watch back. The only good thing with this story is you share how they do so we know not to turn down the window and adjust the mirror under 50 kph.
Thanks a lot my friend .
By: Watchonthewrists : August 6th, 2019-11:25
Thats why i posted this so everyone can learn from my mistake and dont fall into that trap or worse get hurt .
f....k...sorry, this is spontanous first reaction to that...
By: Izhik : August 6th, 2019-11:39
beyond the watch, I would simply get into sort of a trauma....what kind of beasts there are outside, just horrible. Sorry for you to experience something like that, really.... hope you get over this and at the first opportunity compensate yourself either ...
Ughh, very sorry to hear this...
By: Tim Jackson : August 6th, 2019-12:48
I only hope Karma will get these bastards soon. Unfortunately, a good lesson to be reminded of, wearing one's security hat in "holiday spots" is always a good practice. Cheers, Tim
Thank you very much my friend .

I will def think twice before picking a ,,flashy ,, watch next time i go out on a trip to a hotspot . Most of my watches are less known indie brands so i think they mistaken my LW for a AP or so . Hope they will get what they deserve sooner or later . KAR...
That’s really awesome, so sorry to hear that...
By: Clueless_Collector : August 6th, 2019-19:14
part of it is this social media that makes watches so easily recognized and targeted. There are so many stories of people’s watch pry off from their wrist. Quite a wake up call for bringing nicer watch(es) to vacation. Hope those crooks get their “time” a...
Thats whats on my mind too right now .
By: Watchonthewrists : August 7th, 2019-00:59
I am born and raised in Amsterdam so i know this can happen any time and day . Still like you said i wasnt paying to much attention to the ,, accident ,, because it was just a mirror and nothing was broken at first sight . Thought just a quick adjust and ...
So sorry for your loss
By: Spencer Karrington : August 7th, 2019-05:10
I really hope that you find it soon. Silver lining/looking at the glass half full is that it is a great reason to buy a new watch. I just did a quick search on Chrono24 and saw that this recently was posted www.chrono24.co.uk www.chrono24&...
Dear Spencer . Thank you for your kind words .
By: Watchonthewrists : August 7th, 2019-07:00

robbery
By: Weems@8 : August 15th, 2019-11:12
Robbery is a serious crime. I will keep an eye open.
Thank you very much for your kind words my friend .
By: Watchonthewrists : August 16th, 2019-06:34
Yes i do believe in Karma so lets hope they will get what they deserve one day . Its the downside of the popularity of your great hobby . We cant enjoy them out in the open anymore .
My condolences. This is the first time I've seen this thread . . .
By: Dr No : August 20th, 2019-17:44
. . . and hope there's been some response from the local authorities. A little over a week ago, I was out at a restaurant with my girlfriend, and noticed a watch that looked very much like an RO or Hublot on the wrist of a gentleman who bore a striking re...
Thank you very much ,
By: Watchonthewrists : August 21st, 2019-02:30
No news yet 😞. I just hope it will pop up at some point in the future . They def thought it was a AP RO i think .
This is just terrible to hear
By: descartes1 : August 20th, 2019-18:23
It has become a real problem in the tourist spots all over Spain and its islands
Sorry, really sorry for your loss, but happy anyone got hurt...
By: mywrongwrist : October 8th, 2019-13:31
... here in Italy is rather common this kind of robbery Two stolen motorcycles, the first his the rear mirror, one push down the window to adjust it, and the second motorcycle arrives and grab the watch My only humble advice, which I follow from more than...
Thanks for your kind words dear Luca ,
By: Watchonthewrists : October 8th, 2019-13:38
I know these kind of robbery exist but didnt think it will hit me as i only wear indie watches, they have mistaken my LW for a AP RO I guess . Yes i hope it will pop up in the near future. For now on i will only wear less ,,expensive,, watches when i go t...
