Hi all,
I am new here and unfortunately I have to begin my first thread by saying my submariner 116613LB has been stolen. I have already reported it to the Police and I will be filing an insurance claim on it as well. I am heart broken and sick to my stomach. If anyone has been in this situation and can give me some advice as to what more I can do to get the watch back, please let me know. I am located in Chicago and I am offering a reward to the person who returns it to me!$!$!

Thank you

Erm.......welcome, sorry to hear.

1st amg · 11 July 2018, 01:24 AM

Ok. And. No details. Sorry I guess.

not an expert on retrieving stolen rolexes but id say to post the serial number so it will pop up on any online searches and report to rolex as well so they have it in their database

Wcdhtwn · 11 July 2018, 01:35 AM

Get in touch with Rolex Service Centers and give them the serial number. If it shows up there for service you'll get it back. Good for you having insurance... that's the best way to replace it.

0alpha · 11 July 2018, 01:53 AM

We want to know how it was stolen.

Contact every pawn shop/ jeweller in your area with details of your watch including serial number in case somebody brings it in.

Hope you get it back.

iwenger · 11 July 2018, 01:57 AM

As others have said, get the serial number up (at least on here if not elsewhere too) and get in touch with Rolex Service Center to report the theft. It may be futile, and I don't know if the local police already do this, but you can try to contact pawn shops as well to give a heads up or see if they've received anything? Best of luck

randomusername · 11 July 2018, 02:25 AM

It is kind of an embarrassing story and I may post more details later as I talk more with the police. It's still very fresh, it was stolen on 07/08/2018. I would say though be careful out there sometimes things are not what they seem.

0alpha · 11 July 2018, 02:26 AM

We don't know what you look like or your personal details besides that the watch was stolen. There's no logical reason to be embarrassed in a relatively anonymous environment on the Internet, Mr. or Ms. Randomusername.

schoolboy · 11 July 2018, 02:26 AM

Good luck OP.

I hope you find your watch.

Hate to be a naysayer but you most likely will never see that watch again, oh there's a slim chance you'll get lucky and it will be recovered. File an insurance claim, pay the deductible and any difference and get a new watch.

sutats · 11 July 2018, 02:47 AM

Watch theft seems to be a common occurrence. We get posts like this fairly regularly on here. It'll be wise to add a sticky to the forum with steps Rolex/Tudor owners can take should they lose their watch.

hulkalicious · 11 July 2018, 02:48 AM

One thing to note is once reported stolen to Rolex I assume if the potential buyer ever tries to get it serviced at an RSC it would flag up as stolen??

woof · 11 July 2018, 02:52 AM

Sorry to hear that....
Check on craigslist just in case they are trying to sell it.

LuminousMaximus · 11 July 2018, 02:58 AM

Good luck OP.

I’m curious as to what happen.

You might be able to help a fellow member by posting the details.

We might be able to point you in a direction not thought of yet

tyler1980 · 11 July 2018, 03:01 AM

sorry, that sucks.

If you filled an insurance claim though its not your watch anymore. If its found it belongs to the insurance company if they paid you for it. Dont waste your time or energy trying to recover their watch.

mikester · 11 July 2018, 03:04 AM

Sorry to hear OP. Hope you can get it back!

bump

I believe that is the case but what i would like to know is, if found would I be able to return the money given to me by the insurance and get the watch back?

Chewbacca · 11 July 2018, 03:18 AM

If this is the level of info you shared with law enforcement, I’d say it’s a good time to visit the classifieds and move on.

randomusername · 11 July 2018, 03:21 AM

Thanks everyone for the well wishes, really it helps me feel a little bit better that there are good people out there willing to help/express sympathy to the situation.

Al1969 · 11 July 2018, 03:32 AM

Terrible news OP,

Please share as much information as possible.
Best of luck in recovering it. Was it insured?

jaySL350 · 11 July 2018, 03:58 AM

Sorry to hear of your bad news mate,,,,
at least your ok and nobody was hurt,,,,,,
I imagine it could have been much worse,,,,,,

Sorry to hear and also welcome to TRF

joli160 · 11 July 2018, 04:37 AM

I hate thieves, embarrassing or not, nobody has the right under whatever circumstances to take what's yours

Twinrolex · 11 July 2018, 04:39 AM

I wouldn't sweat it you have insurance...I can't wait for my Rolex to be stolen it's insured for 34k:)
