This is a great find...
...and has me playing 'CSI.'
If BMWMW has any straight-on, high-resolution shots it might show identical guilloche patterns. As the dials are made by hand I have to believe there will be identifiable variations...kind of like fingerprints.
Stolen Philippe Dufour Simplicity
My Dufour Simplicity was stolen yesterday in a home burglary. Platinum case, silver coloured dial, rose gold baton markers and dauphine hands. Serial number 103. Please DM me if you come across it. ...
Best of luck....
in getting them back as difficult as it is to achieve it in these situations. Take care, Filip
thats really not a good news...
i'm sure you'll get it back - these watches can't remain invisible for long. Best, mahesh.,
That is terrible news, I feel so sorry for you
We'll keep our eyes wide open… Bon courage, Mike
Im really sorry for you
we will all keep an eye out for you. Same goes for your Patek.
So sorry to hear of this
and I am not sure if you can ask Philip Dufour to make one for you as I know he is still making the Simplicity in exceptional circumstances.
Dear Lord! how many watches did they steal? please see
my message on the PP forum. Really sorry to hear this and will keep an eye open
Omg , again sorry to hear that . These watches are worthless for any other imho
These watches will popup sooner or later i think .
Thanks everyone!
I appreciate the kind words. I should have mentioned - there’s a significant reward for helping to return either watch. Many thanks.
Stolen Philippe Dufour Simplicity Serial Number 103
Another image of the stolen Simpliciry. Please DM me if you come across it. ...
Oh no...
...that's horrible news. I certainly hope this you will get this watch back!
You should check that...
www.sothebys.com "N°108" Same mark on the 8th sub second index. ...
Very astute observation...
For that to be so, the number '103' on the movement nameplate of the watch to be auctioned would have had to be carefully modified to '108' (quite achievable, one would have thought). That would mean, though, that the original '108' would still be in priv...
Also...
It seems that was your first post: quite the way to make an entrance. Welcome here. Cheers, pplater.

Thanks
Many thanks to everyone for the recent posts and numerous direct messages. I am aware of the situation and have been working to resolve it for some time now. I hope to have good news for the forum soon.
happy for you that things are moving in positive direction....
it is a grail - hunt for it.
Im sure it can't be sold in public
at least I am sure it can't get on the auction for sale, and for those dealers who know Dufour's work won't accept it as well, it is too small production, and too well known. good luck to you
Looks like it's been pulled from the auction...
...I hope that's good news for bmwmw!
Stolen Simplicity Recovered
I’m happy to report that, after lengthy court proceedings, I have finally recovered my stolen Simplicity. I want to thank my friend SJX in Singapore and also Mr Dufour himself for their help in recovering the watch. Also, thank you to all you forum member...
