Yes - i am sure it would have gone on the register
The insurance co asked me if I wanted to buy the original watch back that they recovered - but in my case it was just a standard watch which I...
Owned by insurance company since they had paid out to me
I understand they made a recovery of some kind from the thief and offered a cheap purchase price to the new "owner" - who is the main...
One went and i thought i had mislaid it (see my postjng history!). The other two we noticed at the same time and resulted in us "cleaning house"
I do have about 30 watches..
I have broad shoulders :-)
We did sack the cleaners and suspect everyone including friends and family. But no proof in any direction.
Nice to have some closure!
This is all resolved with a conviction against the thief.
Suspended jail, community service, repayment of value to another victim.
The deployant on a watch of mine has broken. I've never bought one before (they've always come on watches I've bought rather than me getting them seperately).
Where should I go to get to get a new...
Ok, police have been round and I can say a bit more.
Three watches were taken from my house over a number of years by my cleaners. This resulted in two claims from my insurers (Hiscox). Hiscox...
If I discover which site it was I will name them. They obviously are happy to buy watches with no box or papers that are less than a few months old!
Indeed - they are probably the biggest loser here. I lost excess and hassle, insurance company has made a partial recovery; new "owner" is out of pocket unless he can go back to the vendor (an...
In this case the insurance company registered the watches, and I believe the hit was when a new owner sent the watch in for service
When the full investigation is concluded I will tell all!
The rolex stolen watch register really works.
I have had two rolex watches go missing from my house, and my insurance company (who paid out) registered the watches - and there was a hit on one...
I sent it through an AD! No idea about the costs, it's still there at the moment...[/quote]
Has this come back yet?
How did you get the watch to Milano? What did it cost?
I believe it is an in house movement. It is one of these

It doesn't flick at all (most dates). It used to flick over occasionally
Anyone know if I'm being given accurate information about uk repair centre and if swisstec are "safe" ?
I have a girard perregaux evo moonphase (that I bought through this forum). It has had a long standing issue where the date tick over doesn't happen properly at midnight (you can adjust the date...
I suspect they actually pay less than the face value for the card - which is why I asked. The discount I would want would be less than 10% of the card, and on a rolex and an omega - so there may be...
I've been offered a Gemcheck card as an insurance settlement - based on the RRP price of two watches that have gone missing from my collection; the amount on the card will be less my insurance...
Only advice I would give is not to buy the one I put in a hedge! :-)
I have the dualit. It's not a bad grinder for the price.. biggest problem is the collector bounces out a bit when it is grinding but you can fix that. It goes fine enough for me, but I also have a...
One on the way - not official but well rated - from thewatchboys
I had only bought the 3714 from Sales Corner a few days previously, Like New in Box. But I had really been wanting a 5001.
So, a perfect exchange :-)
Also, I forgot - no membership fee unlike quidco
I gave up using Quidco a while ago, and have switched to topcashback as their rates seem to be consistently highest (that is what their USP is)
