Sorry to hear dude. Reasons like this are exactly why I left the UK.

henrylee · 24 December 2016, 01:19 PM

Glad you are safe, sorry about your watch. But atleast you weren't shot for a pair of Jordans. Kids are killing people for a pair of sneakers.

Sorry this had to happen to you, hope the punk gets caught and receives the full brunt of the law, I really hate thieves.

sensui · 24 December 2016, 01:44 PM

Important thing is you're more or less safe..I'd take a breather and let the police figure it out...watch can always be replaced.

Pharaoh_83 · 24 December 2016, 01:47 PM

OMG! Hope you're safe.

Mr. K · 24 December 2016, 01:50 PM

sorry to hear. I feel awful for you. Sometimes I hate people

japenney · 24 December 2016, 01:50 PM

Sorry about this OP. As stated you should report to police and rolex with serial number. Call the local second hand stores and pawn shops and ask them to keep an eye out for the model and give a description of the theif. Also keep an eye out on local classifieds online for sale and ebay. There is a good chance if you do all this that you might come across it in the next few months or the police will. Good luck.

77T · 24 December 2016, 01:53 PM

Awful for you - and hoping there's luck with the authorities finding the perpetrator and your property. Any chance public security CCTV or webcam video from neighbors might have caught the incident?

carwash66 · 24 December 2016, 01:54 PM

So sad to read this. Stay strong and know that it is a blessing that you were not injured more than you are. Can't imagine how you must feel. Hoping you have a fast recovery of your injuries and your watch.

swils8610 · 24 December 2016, 02:03 PM

Terrible OP. Glad your ok. Hope they catch scum bag that did this to you.

Really sorry to hear about this, but glad your are somewhat okay. As others mentioned, the wounds will heal. File that police report ASAP. Check local ads and pawnshops. I hope your watch makes it back to you.

and I hope these scumbag(s) get caught.

GreenLantern · 24 December 2016, 02:48 PM

+1 to everything that was said here.

I think you can also report stolen directly to Rolex, in case it ever pops up in their global network.

armen34 · 24 December 2016, 02:49 PM

What an awful news.... sorry to hear. Thank God your alive and can buy another watch when the time is right.

Al1969 · 24 December 2016, 03:13 PM

Terrible news OP. Glad to see you're not severely hurt. They'll get what's coming to them. As others said, report to the police and local pawn shops. Any chance you had insurance?

HeartRolex · 24 December 2016, 03:22 PM

I'm so sorry this happened. Be careful out there guys, especially during the holidays as people are watching. Always check your review mirror when you've been out and headed home to make sure you aren't being followed.

Chicogiant · 24 December 2016, 03:22 PM

So sorry to hear. Glad you're okay.

madgpol · 24 December 2016, 04:17 PM

Sorry to hear this Dee. Hopefully you get your watch back and the scum that did this are caught asap.

SC11 · 24 December 2016, 05:19 PM

Also OP pop over to TZ-UK they have a lost and found section you can post your details in and a few UK watch dealers are members there.

So sad. I hope this is resolved.

BigCFM · 24 December 2016, 05:29 PM

I'm really gutted for you.

I lost my 16613 in October. My valuables bag was snatched from the gym. Wallet, watch, phones, everything.
The initial pain was terrible but it does ease in time. I've put the episode behind me and have moved on. I've got a 116613 on order now which is due around Feb 17.

One thing though, keep on at the police for updates on your case.

slomo · 24 December 2016, 05:59 PM

Sorry to hear but good thing is you're safe...the watch can always be replaced. I hope they find the crook and he gets what he deserves.

The Sub-lime One · 24 December 2016, 06:12 PM

Thanks for your messages guys, I really appreciate them. The police arrived on the spot within minutes last night and took a statement, providing me with a crime reference number. Do I contact the Watch Gallery in selfridges where I purchased the watch?

Sorry, my head is all over the place this morning. Right eye is black and completely closed. Too much of a coincidence that they demanded the watch and yanked it off my wrist. They knew exactly what they wanted and didn't touch anything else. Very few people know I wore a Rolex and my sleeves were always covered even in the warmer months.

To those of you who haven't insured your watches, please do so. Even for peace of mind. Took me a long time to be able to afford one and then upgrade so doubt I'll be able to get another anytime soon.

madgpol · 24 December 2016, 06:22 PM

You make a very good point about covering up a Rolex in London. All to often you hear of Rolexes being stolen from people's arms. Is it possible you were followed home. If so CCTV maybe your friend.

Old Expat Beast · 24 December 2016, 06:25 PM

Such a shame and you've only had it a short time. Looks like you put up a fight. Did you get a good look at them?

rsnissan · 24 December 2016, 06:29 PM

Sorry to hear mate. Didn't think an sd4k would even get noticed let alone make you a target for this sort of thing! Where about was this? Hopefully it will turn up somewhere and get returned to you.

Just sent you a PM with some help in getting the details out there to UK watch dealers in the city.

Thanks Sam,

I tried to reply a couple of times but couldn't see anything in my sent items?

Hi Adam,

No I didn't. There were 3/4 of them and ambushed me as I tried to use my fob to the communal entrance to my flat. They just appeared out of nowhere.
