Lost/Stolen 116500LN

[DCVT]

White dial, lost in southern Vermont. Appreciate all of the feedback, will update as things progress... hopefully with a located watch tomorrow.

How do you take your shirts to the cleaners? I have a special bag I use. Maybe it's in the bag or sac you use?

Thanks for sharing. Do you know the Dibbles?

Oh my sorry to hear that, I just got my dayC several weeks ago, can’t imagine if I lost it *knock on wood

On the other note, I purchased this leather tray that I put on top of my dresser/side board. Always put my wedding ring and watch there so it’s always on sight and it’s already become a habit to leave them there.

Good luck and I hope you find it.

I would be turning my house and car upside down looking for it.
Did you or the store check the bag/basket that you delivered the clothes in?
Maybe it is sitting at the bottom of that having fallen out of the pocket.

It'll turn up!

[Max16013]

My sincerest condolences... let us know if it turns up :/

Bet you find it when you're not looking.

[Carry The Interest]

Very sorry to hear this. Hoping it was simply misplaced and that you'll find it tomorrow with fresh eyes.

[fleabag]

Sorry to hear , this is why I always keep my watches in a safe , you just never know who’s lurking about .

Yup

I believe it did not go to the dry cleaners . They usually take out each piece and count them and if the Daytona was in there you and the person would of known .
It’s in a cubby spot that you just happened to put it in because you got sidetracked . It will turn up

I certainly hope you find it. But here's something I was told several years back - don't cry for things that cannot cry for you.

Good luck.

I know it's not much help, but I thought I'd lost a cherished dog leash for my golden retriever last October on a small road trip. I figured I left it on top of my car at a rest stop, and drove off without it, lol. Surprisingly, it unexpectedly turned up just last week, some 4 months later, in a duffel bag I use for carrying my Kindle, headphones, and other misc electronics when traveling. So you never know. It's possible you set the watch down in an unusual place in your home. I have a Daytona C, too, so I feel your pain. Hopefully it will turn up soon! -Rick.

Yep. Go back and check to see what the real serial number is...that's not it.

That's a habit you might want to re-think. For the very reason that this thread started.

[ArtNouveau]

I generally know where my watches are if I'm not wearing them but...I have one particular pair of fairly expensive sunglasses that I've misplaced several times. I do my best to scour my memory back to the last time I had them on and go from there. I have always found them so far, sometimes in some pretty weird places. Hope you find it.

[nyc2la]

Sorry to hear, hopefully it turns up unscathed. At least it's insured.

[DCVT]

Thanks for comments all, still have not located the watch. The whole thing seems insane: I can't find it in my house, it can't have been stolen, dry cleaners don't have it... I am at a loss. I have it registered with the Watch Register, will update as warranted, appreciate the kind words and advice.

I once searched 2 hours for my keys in a tiny apartment. The door needed the key to be opened from outside I knew I had to find it before i could leave, otherwise i had to call a locksmith. I also knew I had the key when I entered the apartment.

Turns out, the lining in one of the pockets of my coat had a hole and the key fell through the hole in-between the two fabrics of the coat. I don't want to lead you to think something similar happened to your watch but sometimes, things fall into the weirdest places.

The only way I managed to tell was that when I ran my hands around the bottom seam of the coat, I felt that something was inside the fabric. Hope your watch turns up soon. Don't give up!

[rolexforum73]

I feel for you, and don't know how you can focus on anything else. I once lost my car keys for 2 weeks and they turned up in a pile of towels. It did my head in and I turned the place upside down, checking the same places many times. I'm sure it's in your 4 walls, just got to stumble across it.

[Mrngrz46]

I hope you find it.
however do not trust people: Watch cannot be disappeared

Im pretty sure is in the house.
