5d is 5 digit. I think similar to the reference that was stolen from you.

My thoughts are you had a 116520 Daytona if it was new in 2006. If you try to get a 16520 it will cost close to that £15k you mentioned. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

In London in particular absolutely not especially because its not an AD you have a prior relationship with.
sorry , you need to go grey Im not kidding, ive seen probably a handful of people come into my AD in london with that exact problem over the past few years. Not that specific watch, but insurance replacements and you dont go to the top of the list.

get papers though, please. Non papers and it just might be YOUR watch you are buying back

Reading through this thread is like having your wife change the channel ten minutes into a murder mystery. I'm sure I am not the only one waiting to hear the story of where and how you got robbed.

Sorry to hear this news. Can you share with us the specifics of what happened please? Details of where it happened, and how it took place would be a start. Thanks.

Just want to point out that OP did indeed mention owning a Daytona in a post from Jan. 2018...
OP—sorry for the mess. Hope you can find a piece that fits the bill. |

It’s pretty embarrassing.. but here goes. I mentioned earlier it was Cannes France. The whole story is that I got drugged and in a state of confusion woke up in the back of some random bloke and his accomplices car. Driving out of town on a motorway I asked to get out and they said no. Then at lights I made a run for it. But could barely move due to whatever they slipped into my drink. Then they bundled me over and took my watch and drove off. iPhone and wallet was not taken. I then ended up having to walk three hours to get back to my apartment as my iPhone had died and I couldnt call an Uber and had no idea where I was. Yes it sounds far fetched and I think the insurance company thought so too as I had to give about 5 statements before they would pay out.

OP--would you consider a two-tone Daytona as a replacement? They've really started to grow on me lately.

OMG...you weren't at the Cannes Lions were you (you said you were in advertising)? that's insane! in any case the most important thing is that you weren't hurt. A watch is just a thing, and things can be replaced. Your health and well being cannot.

Oof. Obviously not something anyone wants to go through. The major bright side is no significant physical harm done. Imagine crap like waking up with sutures and a missing kidney or something...

Damn, that sounds like something out of Taken the movie,
Main point is your safe, the watch you can always get back doesnt really matter, we only care about your own safety and health (i guess you might have gotten sore legs but lets just count that as leg day =D). In regards to getting back the watch i mean like other say, its gonna have to be a grey dealer ! i would help you look from here in HOng Kong but prices are pretty steep =/ NEvertheless good to hear you're safe and sound ! |

Drugging and kidnapping? These Euro criminals are bold. It reads like a scene in a movie. Glad that you're unharmed. That's all that matters after all. |

That sounds like an awful experience. I don't have advice, but I hope you can replace your watch without trouble.

Anyway, now you have it sounds like quite the ordeal and glad you made it out safe. As for the watch, I don't think many ADs would care in this market, even your original one, everyone has an angle nowadays, so grey is probably your best bet. |
