Welcome to the forum, what street did this happen? Maybe some cameras if it’s main shopping area.

Wellcome, sorry to hear this news of yours, horrible felling when this happens, hope you were not hurt in this theft, how did it happen? I was robbed for my 5968G 1 month back in Mayfair London, attacked from behind, it seems to be getting worse.
Good luck with trying to recover the watch.

SOrry to the OP and for the loss of your 5968, hope you are well despite everyng. Would you share more details about how that happened? i am often in that area... I am always extremely careful most time the watch is in my pockets on public street...

Dreadful news.

There ought to be some restriction on grey dealers selling watches without original papers and proof of whom they purchased them from. This would make selling stolen watches difficult as buyers would be more aware the second hand piece was probably illegally obtained.

Sorry to hear about your stolen 3027758/4055510. Many will ask how it happened. It’s all the same, wrong place wrong time.

That is a truism. No theft is at the right time or place! LOL

What others might be interested in is whether or not the watch was under a sleeve or worn openly. If the theft occurred after visit a restaurant or club. If a stranger came up and asked the time. If there were two or more thieves. If the robbers were armed? If the victim was alone, sober, in a back street, on public transport etc. Was it a planned or opportunistic theft? A rider on a bike or moped? Etc etc.

Whatever the circumstances, when these happen are awful, mine situation was a street robbery, at the moment there is a police investigation active.

There is nothing new under the sun. Details only fuel others’ morbid curiosity until they inevitably blame the victim. Be safe out there and remember, you can do everything right and still be a victim. OP, I hope you get your watch back.

Very sad to hear about this! How did it happen? I've always felt super safe in Lisbon and coincidentally my go-to watch when traveling has been the 5066a with the blue/grey strap. I had the impression it's the most under-the-radar Patek sports watch you can wear... I hope you find it.
