Hi all -
My lovely watch was stolen last night. Was removed from my wrist in a night club. Didn't even notice until I left. I am typically very careful not to wear it in such situations, but this was right after a wedding ceremony. Filed a police report, was told it's unfortunately a common occurrence. Feeling devastated, and very dumb. It's not even about the money - it's the sentimental value. Would appreciate any help or advice from the community here. Which databases are worth registering, etc. Model: 116710BLNR Serial: 2V284069 Location: Sitges, Spain ![]() Last edited by Sophocles; 6 July 2024 at 10:40 PM.. Reason: grammar |

Sorry to hear that happen - I hope you get to see it again, but sadly that's probably unlikely.

There is no way a GMT is going to be easily slipped off your wrist without you noticing. It can't be cut easily and with the double fliplock you would most certainly notice any attempt to remove it.
I think there must have been a loose screw, or a pin was not properly fixed in its retainer hole.

Happens to me as well already 2 times that the screw was coming off the bracelet. Its quite important to check that every time you wash your watch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

Contact Rolex to report the serial # stolen. You’ll need the police report and original paper work (warranty card or bill of sale) of ownership.
If your watch is ever sent in to RSC it will be held by Rolex. It doesn’t matter who bought after stolen, Rolex will keep it until contact with the original owner or most of the time the insurance company. |

1. Rolex doesn't require the original paperwork. 2. Rolex only keeps it for a limited period after alerting the original reporter. Here is the excerpt from my most recent recovery with Rolex a couple of years ago: "The Watch has been submitted for service and, therefore, the question of ownership must be resolved in accordance with the applicable law of that jurisdiction. If you are interested in pursuing a claim to the Watch, we encourage you to immediately contact the police department with which you filed your police report. The police department should coordinate the return of the watch with local law enforcement in ______Redacted______. Please also consider retaining counsel to assist you with the recovery of the Watch. Please note that our affiliate can only hold the Watch for a limited time, and if you fail to take action, the Watch may be released and the Watch's serial number may be removed from Rolex's missing watch database." BTW Rolex does not call insurance companies. They don't know you accepted an insurance payment unless you tell them or the Insurance company follows up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I'm unclear on what you mean by changing their policy. I'm explaining the policy for the person reporting a stolen watch. What your Dad experienced is the other side of the story - the Rolex policy for a person who submits a watch to the RSC that had been reported stolen. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Sorry about your watch. Did you meet any new people that showed interest in you for a couple of moments only to seemingly disappear shortly after they disengaged from being interested in you? Professionals are pretty good at picking people they are able to successfully target.

I really don't understand how someone can take a watch off your wrist without you noticing it. That's unless you were under the influence of something and was not in your right frame of mind. I mean, they have to open the clasp and remove it from your wrist, and you don't feel that happening? Or maybe it's what was mentioned above that a screw came loose, and it fell off. Still, you have to be more aware of your surroundings. Good luck.

He was at an after party, after a wedding . Suffice it to say, he was probably hammered. Sorry to hear about this, OP. Follow advice given here. I had my Sub Date stolen awhile back. I know exactly how you feel. I still miss it! Kat Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

I've got a T Shirt with the slogan "Do I Look Like A F****** People Person?" (minus the asterisks). People who know me get the joke, people who don't know me get the message.

Oh man, I feel for you, so sorry your watch was stolen. You let your guard down for a wedding and after party, and then this happens. As people have said, beyond filing a police report and reporting the watch stolen to Rolex, not much more you can do. I'm glad you weren't physically harmed - lots of watch theft in the Catalan region of Spain.

Too bad if true, and I see no reason to fabricate such an incident, but the story just doesn’t make sense, although we hear a lot about watch theft in Spain.
