I am submitting this post to notify the public of my Rolex Day Date Gold men's watch that was stolen in a violent mugging on 1st July 2017 at 3pm in South Kensington London.

Stolen Rolex Serial R417120.

R417120

During the attack (involving hammer) I have suffered 3 broken bones.

To prove authenticity, police crime reference is 5611179/17.

Do not deal in this watch please.

Oh my, get well soon mate. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I'm headed over to Nottingham and Durham soon and had just convinced myself i'd be ok bringing one of my Daytona's along... Guess she's staying home after all 😕

wow... sorry to hear mate. Hope all is well. Your health is more important that any watch.

fungo · 3 July 2017, 06:28 PM

Ouch. Sorry to hear what happened. Will keep an eye out. If there is any bright side, you got away with your life considering how violent it was.

hsfrank · 3 July 2017, 06:31 PM

So sorry to hear this. Headed over the pond to catch a cruise Friday. I'll be extra careful. My very best to you.

alex700500 · 3 July 2017, 06:33 PM

Thanks. Its becoming common in affluent areas of London.
I forgot to add, it was 2 guys on a moped who stopped and me for directions. As the driver engaged me, the passenger got off and attacked me. Therefore if any moped approaches you, run and shout for help.

Dave-B · 3 July 2017, 06:43 PM

Ouch, sorry to hear about this mate. Hope you recover quickly! I'll definitely keep an eye out for your watch, I will also pass the photo/serial # to some police friends in London just in case they come across it.

CrazyMD · 3 July 2017, 06:58 PM

Wow. Scary. Sorry to hear

THANK YOU.
Does anyone know of other sites I can post stolen serial too? I know Rolex doesn't do this anymore. I just want to publicise this crime as much as possible.

Between your story and the bloke who got his Rolex stolen in Ibiza, I am beginning to think having anything nice, just isn't worth it.

Andad · 3 July 2017, 07:35 PM

My dad is in the market for one of these, and is going down to London to view a few, will tell him to keep his eyes peeled!

The fact that you have posted the serial means that it will show up in a google search. I always try to google a serial number before buying.

Must have been a scary event, get well soon!

Old Geezer · 3 July 2017, 09:48 PM

That sucks. Get well soon.

spoilsofwar01 · 4 July 2017, 05:24 AM

Hello Alex, Saddened to hear of the situation that you found yourself having to deal with, I hope that you have a speedy recovery of both your health and your Rolex. All the best "H"

mps354 · 4 July 2017, 05:28 AM

Sorry to hear this, thanks for the heads up

Al1969 · 4 July 2017, 06:05 AM

Terrible news. Guess we have to be extremely careful anytime a stranger enters our personal space. All the best in your recovery and hope you get your watch back. Did you have it insured?

RHJ · 4 July 2017, 06:46 AM

I'm very sorry for you!

rootbeer7 · 4 July 2017, 06:55 AM

Very sad news, but at least you survived. The moped thefts are all over London. Grabbing phones as well. Be careful out there.

Chewbacca · 4 July 2017, 06:56 AM

Not trying to offend anyone, but sounds like stuff that happens in third world countries. I recall my last trip to South America, relatives would warn me not to to have my phone out in public, as people would jump out of cars and steal them right out of your hands.

wildaxlrose · 4 July 2017, 02:08 PM

Get well soon I will keep an eye for this watch I have saved this serial no

They tend to be isolated in small areas. Don't forget 9million plus people in London!

mikkolopez · 13 July 2017, 12:14 PM

Scary event. I couldn't deal with that happening to me. Thanks for the heads up will be flying over in November and I'd just have a Seiko with me. The Rolex stays home.

Hello!
I am Rolex and Hublot dealer from Finland. I contacted one Rolex forum's member alex700500 because he has a topic here on his stolen Rolex Day Date. The dealer i have to be careful that I am not bying stolen items. Everything is now okey. The Rolex has found on August and he sold the watch to English watch dealer in London. The Watch Dealer sold the watch via Chrono24 to someone around the world. I think that it would be important to remove this topic from your forum because if the new owner would like to sell the watch in the future this topic seems on google search. Because everything is now ok and the Rolex has found, can you immediately remove the topic which name is stolen Rolex serial number R417120 Day Date gold. That would be very kind!

Kind regards,
Miikka Evesti (Rolex dealer)
