Hey Guys thought I'd add to this section
Had a break-in back in December 2010. Had the following stolen:
Rolex GMTiic 116710, box stolen but papers not. Serial No: V736844
Omega Seamaster Automatic 300m Co-Axial 212.30.41.20.01.002, box and papers not stolen: Serial No: 81958037
Both watches are SS with the GMT obviously having a black ceramic bezel. The Omega again has a black bezel.
Not expecting big things but thought i'd try anyway!
As a side note, wouldn't it be better if those members posting a stolen watch included info about whether the box and papers were also stolen, or just the naked watch? I know the chances of these watches being offered to forum members are very slim, but it's always possible.
It's a reasonable suggestion and one I will gladly cater to :)Quote:

PS: @ "DC Hogan": Will you check that these are recorded on PNC?.. Doing it twice is better than nonce.

Over 2 years have passed since these were stolen but still holding out hope that 1 day i'll get a phone call saying they've been found!
Alas, if only i'd had insurance!! :(
Keep that hope alive Qwerty.
I had a dozen or so watches stolen last year and six months later the police traced me through the Rolex which had been found buried under a hedge.
I got back the top 5 most expensive watches stolen - presumably because they couldn't be shifted quickly down the pub.
I take it you've reported the Rolex stolen at an AD?
That's good to hear!Quote:

Almost 4 years now and still no news.
One day...
5.5 years and counting!
6 years and counting.
Still holding out hope that whoever now has my watches sends one in to get serviced and it flags as stolen :(
6 years and 7 days
7 years and counting
Almost 9 years....still holding on to a glimmer of hope...
I hope these turn up one day. I like a happy ending! :smug:
11.5 years and counting. One day…

Almost 13 years.
I do wonder who ended up with my stolen watches, do they still exist or were they scrapped for parts?

There is no way of knowing but when i was younger back in about 2003 I was offered a stolen Rolex ( I said no of course )Quote:

FFS, you had your mass-produced, Swiss wrist-bangles stolen 13 years ago. Move on.
You must have more important things in your life to be concerned about? Or maybe not, which would be sad :blue:

My day will be fine because I’m not losing sleep over the loss of an inanimate object more than a decade ago.Quote:

After 13 years I can finally sleep because you told me to. Thank you internet stranger.
Happy Easter.

Reporting back. I tried my hardest but sleep escaped me. The serial numbers of the watches just kept going through my mind.Quote:
