I don’t even leave my wallet with cash in a gym room locker...if you drive your car to the gym leave wallet cash and watch in car locked up... that being said thief’s should still burn in hell

Am in Toronto area also. Rolex Canada, pawn shops, used Rolex specialists like Van Rijk should all be contacted/visited. Sorry to see this. Gorgeous watch. Should never be left in a locker though. Too much of a target.

Sorry for your loss. Gym lockers scare me.

I have been looking at Kijiji and Craigslist on your behalf.
Hopefully it shows up somewhere.

STOLEN WATCH ALERT - Toronto

Not the brightest decision to leave a watch in a locker room. Tons of discreet guys looking at watch to steal especially the world knows Rolex is $$$.

That someone probably paid a dirt bag to open the locker and steal if for him, who'll either keep the watch or sell it very privately. Same thing happens with vintage cars.

You don’t need to pay employee to open up a locker. It’s a simple tactic, call the employee that you forgot the combination, most lockers use combination, the employee should ask to identify what’s inside first and then describe the personal items (color bags, jackets, shirt, etc) the person was wearing and even the watch. Therefore, the thief was eyeing on him.
