Were you physically robbed or was it stolen from your hotel room?

That's awful.

Do you mean like at a Rolex meet-up? Trying to fathom how it would be stolen during a business meeting... More info on the situation, please.

Hope you get it back.

Thank you all for the kind words.

In Spain when we say a meeting is not necessarily a business one. and was not a rolex watch meeting either. Some friends and some not having drinks. I took of the watch to swim in the evening and misplaced the watch.. I partially blame it on me tbh..

No fortunately no physical damage to anyone.

GREAT NEWS

Yesterday as last option I placed some flyers in the building where this happened.

I got a phone call today that my watch has been found by a neighbor and will get it back today... Im kind of shock and happy cannot describe..

If maybe a moderator can delete the serial of the watch would be nice but not a big issue for me right now..


Thank you all for the support I got some nice warming DM's I really appreciate it and dont wish this happening to anybody.

Wonderful news that it was recovered! It turns out to have been a cheap lesson; always keep your valuables secure.

Thank you all

I do consider myself lucky and there is still some people with integrity in this world.

I have learned indeed a very valuable lesson!

That's brilliant news! Bet you won't lose it again...

So do you think you just dropped it, or someone actually stole it then panicked and dumped it?
