Any advise besides filing a Police report, would be appreciated. Is there a way of contacting Rolex and report it stolen so they can flag the serial #
Thank you

Crazy.
The thief may try to pawn it, so filing a police report (with the serial number) was a smart move. Pawn shops have to eat it if they unknowingly pawn/buy stolen merch (when it is recovered by law enforcement). As a safeguard against that, many pay a fee to access the "civilian" version of NCIC called "Leads Online" (or that's what it was called years ago at least). However, it isn't required, so you may check with all of the local pawn shops in the area to confirm which ones have access, and to give the ones that don't a heads-up.
Other than the police report, and notifying Rolex, you might cross post it (with serial number) on other watch forums and social media platforms as well.
Good luck!
