One of my stolen watches resurfaced!
By: amanico : November 16th, 2018-15:40
The one in question is the Tribute To Polaris 1965 in steel. I owned the Prototype, one of the three existing. So you can imagine how happy I was and how sad I became after my burglary in 2011. My Tribute to Polaris 1965: Almost 8 years after, on a collec...
auction house

Just curious, which auction house in Hong Kong was selling one of the stolen watches? Did they even bother to return it once notified?
All is here...

But they can even take the one off your wrist.
A decision of two

gentlemen. Still 19 watches missing.... That’s hard. I feel very sorry for that. All the best, Thomas
I'm mixed...

I'm not sure how I feel with the outcome. On one hand, the best possible thing happened and everyone is somewhat happy. On the other hand, true justice wasn't served. I'm split.
How about contacting the dealer who sold it?

Perhaps they can identify who they bought it from, and if they bought any of your others.... maybe this will open the door to a trail to follow?

Your whole collecting experience makes for a good story, Nico..

And I think it has enriched everyone. From a simple matter of awareness (I remember those antiquorum posts) to acts of generosity and friendship (The AirKing initiative) to another interesting outcome such as this one with the TP65, all of it, in the end,...
Yes, I do really hope that some stories still have to be told. The most important for me are this vintage Deep Sea Alarm US which was in top condition, the Duometre à Chronographe in platinum,

The Langematik Anniversary, the Datograph, the Vacheron Les Historiques Chrono salmon dial platinum case, the Ulysse Nardin Chrono Mono Pusher WG 175th Anniversary, the Patek 5196P, and these two superb Omega Seamaster 300 CK 14755 and 165024, the Panerai...
Chapeau!

An amazing story of true gentleman’s behavior. And though only 1/20 of your collection came back into daylight this makes hope for more. On the other hand it again brings up emotions about a still not closed page of your life. Let’s hope that in a not too...
Positive news!
By: foversta : November 17th, 2018-01:39
I have a question: when the watch was sent for service, did JLC detect that it was stolen? Si let’s hope now that step by step you get news about the other watches. Fx
from my understanding there is a lack of rigor
By: Tyo : November 17th, 2018-04:05
There is still your name engraved and a search on the net we immediately find who owns the watch. In this story, many people have closed their eyes, don't you think?
I feel for you and admiew you

Hi Amanico, What an amazing and sad story. Kudos for the resolution in this particular case, but the wound is clearly still there. I hope the key 5-6 turn up soon. Best, Claus
Amazing outcome to a sad moment my friend...

let's hope there will resolution for the remaining pieces. Still cannot believe how something like this happens and it seems to be happening more often which is scary at times. Luckily we have the community to help us search and spread the news.
Sorry to hear - and what a gentleman you are!
By: Semper Fidelis : February 15th, 2019-04:05
The other gentleman couldn’t have been luckier than crossing your path with this piece. I remember you telling me the story, what a disaster that was - and several of them were so rare resp protos or otherwise irreplaceable pieces 😓 All the best to you my...
When I first read this post I felt anger and then sadness for you.
By: aperna : February 15th, 2019-07:17
When events like this happen in life I always have to remind myself that the most important thing is our family, our health and our friends. Material objects come and go and can always be replaced in some fashion. You are truly a gentleman and settle this...
Somehow I missed this post when you made it.
By: TheMadDruid : February 15th, 2019-07:23
Finding any of your watches is a bit amazing. And this is a fascinating outcome for the watch; and you. How was it decided that the buyer would get the watch and not you?
