$800,000 Richard Mille Stolen in Paris

This stolen watch won't be easy to sell. It's not like your everyday Rolex or Patek.

RM makes some gorgeous watches, that ain’t one of them.

Nothing further your honor.

I do not understand the interest in these watches. Other than for people to say they have one to those who know what they are. I find them completely unattractive.

I hope they catch the individual(s) involved with those many occurences. One must be well aware of their surroundings.

What does the thief do with a watch like this? It's like stealing a famous work of art, can't exactly unload it on the open market.

I agree. I wouldn't be able to tell the time without staring at that for a while.

It’ll be great if the owner (seen in other source as 30 years old Japanese) is a heir to a yakuza clan and there’s upcoming bloody gang war in Paris...

If the owner had insurance on that abomination, they’re lucky it was stolen !



IMO

Richard Mille watches look like Happy Meal toys .........................
