Stolen Rolex Submariner Serial Z502F877
Posting in the hope that one day this causes some Karma to come around 😪. Whilst I am here a cautionary tale. In Barcelona this year for Mobile World Congress I was leaving a bar at around 11pm when a two guys appeared and snatched my iPhone (X, brand new). The situation got far worse however when I followed them around the corner and was confronted by 4 others (in hindsight exactly what they wanted). A fight ensued which ended up with me on the ground being kicked to hell and a boot in my wrist being used to then remove my beloved sub. I’d knocked one out and after they disbanded caught another and dragged him to the police, he’s in jail now, but no Rolex, and no insurance sadly. Apparently a gang there positions people in bars to watch for target watches and calls them up to attack them as they leave. Seems I was lucky as a German girl attending the show did the same as I and was stabbed a few times. I’m a Barcelona veteran and still got screwed over so look out all.

Sorry to hear this story. At least you are still alive. Stories like this occur all too often and make me weary of wearing a nice watch in certain parts of Europe.
Hope it surfaces at some point |
