Crazy stuff. I actually sold a watch in that exact meet up spot, which is a bank branch in the mall.

Isn’t pepper spray illegal in Canada? They always ask my wife if she’s carrying it when we cross the land border.

meet him at the mall with bear spray

They probably are making sure you have the appropriate grade spray for actual bears.

I have never once thought, i better take my bear spray with me unless i am camping in Montana.


I think he happened to rob the guy and used what he always has on him anyway... bear spray. The follow up story is probably going to be, he used it all up in the robbery and got eaten running home
I can assure you there aren’t any bears near that mall

Just being honest.

I’m new to the “watch game” so don’t know much...

Breitling doesn’t grab my attention either, so that’s part of it

Man, I hate when things like this happen anywhere but especially places where I've been before. I hope both of those bastards are captured and prosecuted to the full extent of the law. This really upsets me.

they make breitling tourbilons https://www.breitlingforbentley.com/.../presentation/ about 200k and hand made ones, chronowerks models which tun for about 100 hours on one barrel

breitling is underrated by most WIS. it’s not a rolex but it is better than many.

Both were born with plenty of "stupid", one was caught right off, arrested and charged, so won't be long till he sings and the other two meatheads are arrested, charged and go spend some time in East or West End Detention...which are both, NOT happy places to be...enjoy the summer boys in the non-air conditioned city jail!!!

Hahaha that made my day! Serves those bastards right. It's why I ended up trading my watches to a local brick and mortar business. The more expensive these watches get the more hesitant I am to be meeting up with people, anywhere.

Online sales aren't always much easier it seems. Given the aforementioned, I put a lot of thought into what I buy now so I'll be less likely to sell.

The lack of cerebral wattage between the clowns involved in this worked against them. Luckily the owner wasn't hurt. I haven't been to Yorkdale in ages.

Damn,

I sympathise for the victim of this assault and robbery. I just recently been victim of fraud/robbery of my Submariner 16610 and while for me it was online and thankfully nobody got hurt - its extremely hard to get over these things psychologically - it really shakes you.

I hope those bastards get caught and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

P.S I strongly believe in Karma and they have something coming - one way or another.
