    How did they spot you ? In December and with several layers a watch shouldn't be easy normally.

    I was tailed from a restaurant behind Oxford Street where I'd eaten dinner with three mates. The gang followed me up and down Bond St, through Selfridges for over 20 minutes, and then attacked in Portland Square. I've got lots if the CCTV footage, and I had no inkling I was being stalked...

    Did someone in the restaurant see your watch and tip them off?

    I’d say so, there’s a difference between someone spotting the watch in the restaurant and an employee actively assisting with the crime.

    These types of stories aren’t nice. I feel safer in the Suburbs (Bristol), but I wouldn’t be too surprised to hear that homes are targeted next

    It was meant "in jest", though a probability.

    I think members of the gang were inside the restaurant (a busy Indian street food place). I went downstairs to the loo, and there were three guys, who I presumed were off duty staff, loitering in the hallway. I reckon one or more were my assailants...

    I see. Nasty business all round. At least you are still here to tell the tale.

    Uhm, I think the example given was pretty far from the intended use of a watch!

    Plus regardless of what you or I might choose to do with our own watches, I wouldn't dream of putting a mark on someone else's! But alas it sounds like no harm was done, but nevertheless a risky trick IMO!
