So Sad
Terribly sorry to hear this sad news and we will all keep an eye out for the watch. I am glad to hear that your friend escaped with only minor scuffs. I agree with others that hopefully we can all continue to enjoy this wonderful hobby w/o having to worry about wearing our wonderful watches around town. The joy of the hobby is in wearing the watches w/o concern, not having to move them around town in a Brinks truck!!

Sorry to learn of this uncomfortable news
I have always advised friends to wear a long sleeve shirt or a jacket, if they happen to have an expensive vintage-watch on their wrist. More so, if they are holidaying in a foreign land. Thank God, he still has his life.
