Heard from watchmaker in Miami that a FedEx truck was robbed or broken into and 10 packages were taken. FedEx picked up package at Rolliworks in Miami on Feb 15th. Piece never left Miami. FedEx is investigating and Rolliworks has started claim process. I don't care about the money,I will be made whole. I want the watch. Everything on FedEx website indicates delayed.

Did fedex confirm this happened ? I’m just curious. Seems weird to me that a whole truck is there and they grabbed the box with your watch in it.
What year was the watch. Looks beautiful |

FedEx investigation ongoing. As well as Rolliworks insurance doing investigation. Watch was just fully restored to spec. 1978.
Other information obtained from very reputable watchmaker in Miami about the truck being either robbed or broken into. Sent from my SM-S918U using Tapatalk |

Sorry to read this hopefully they can recover the items. Sending high price items in this way for me is a massive risk even if they are insured and for me some items can’t be replaced.

Sorry to hear this OP.
I hope your watch makes it way to you somehow. Maybe there’s a chance your watch wasn’t stolen, but the contents of this truck are all being held until the investigation concludes? |

Stolen Watch
Sorry to hear about this theft.
Just a few weeks before your case a FedEx driver in Ohio was arrested for stealing MacBooks. An inside job. Since no reports are in the Miami media for your theft, I suspect this case could be another insider job. I know none of that lessens the anguish. Hope they can bring your watch back to you once the culprit is determined and apprehended. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

These events are obviously extremely rare, but very disturbing to hear about. Thanks for posting and I hope you recover the watch, or are at least made whole.

Sorry to hear about that. Beautiful watch! Hope it makes its way back to you and isn’t indeed stolen.

Why would you want any of the other boxes? Probably shoes for someone's wife. OP said they took 10 boxes off the truck. Seems like a good way to target a Fedex truck that picks up at Rolliworks and has small packages with highly valuable content.

Unfortunately this type of incident is quite common and a subject in which this industry tries to keep quiet.
A while ago I bought a gorgeous 16750 Matte dial from a trusted seller to be delivered via FedEx from USA, I tracked the package all the way from NYC, into London, up the M1 to the FedEx sorting office in Leeds (I live in NE England).... and then it disappeared!!! Fortunately insurance ensured I didnt lose a penny, but I would have loved to have got my hands on that watch. |

Its been suggested that the watch could be in the Seybold Building in Miami...LOL....a few other dealers had watches taking off the same FedEx truck on Feb 15th....thanks. Expecting insurance check in two weeks. But Id rather have the watch.

Reading this story for me only highlights how the drivers have become really soft targets. And hopefully these sorts of things are a chance in a million

Omg. I got my band from rolliwork last week. I’ve sent several expensive things including 5 Rolex and Tudor and camera gear. I make it a point to include Apple air tag in anything of value. I shipped my viper to Utah and was able to track it every step of the way even though the driver didn’t have an iPhone. FedEx once lost my $5k camera when canon was servicing it. I had a heart attack. Canon sent me a replacement camera to use. A week later FedEx found my camera. $20 and a comfort of mind.

The question is how do the robbers get the info that so and so pieces will be picked up by the driver on that day. Luckily for you, insurance covered everything. In some European countries FedEx do not offer insurance for luxury items such as watches. Others do, FedEx don't.
