Sad. Sorry to hear

brandrea · 9 July 2019, 11:33 AM

Sorry to hear. I hope they have some security cameras to review and they catch the dirt ball.

hrm · 9 July 2019, 11:48 AM

Sorry to hear that. It takes some gall to break into a locker and steal a watch. Sounds like he was targeted.

alwayshere · 9 July 2019, 12:02 PM

no security cameras in lockers due to privacy.

Sad story and agree with hrm that this would be targeted.

I never leave my watch in the locker room.

kwcsports · 9 July 2019, 12:11 PM

Sorry to hear it.

Rolextellstime · 9 July 2019, 01:24 PM

Sorry to hear that

I am in Toronto and will keep an eye out.
I guess the lesson here is to keep the watch inside the car or office when going to the gym

That sux. Always best on your wrist when not at home I always say.....and no matter the circumstance.

r_afficionado · 9 July 2019, 01:44 PM

So sorry to hear this. Hope he gets it back.

Man, that's heartbreaking. Also the reason why I never take mine off. Even when working out.

That’s sad to hear. I will keep a lookout as well.

On hindsight, never take off the watch when outside the home.
Office and car ain’t safe anymore as well.

Ben39 · 9 July 2019, 07:03 PM

Saw this and shared story on my IG, Sorry to hear.. hope your Friend recover it soon!

colpol · 9 July 2019, 07:44 PM

Great looking watch

Your friend must be sick. No cameras even at reception door to try & catch someone in the timeframe ( hopefully a non member who sticks out)

Toronto Soup King · 9 July 2019, 09:20 PM

Crosspost on Reddit r/toronto, USD2K is enough for the thief to come forward. Easier money than fencing the watch IMO

Styles Bitchley · 9 July 2019, 10:30 PM

That would be crushing. What gym? They should be able get a list if checked in members and staff.

That’s horrible man. Hope he gets it back. I’m sure the dirt bag will be selling.

Very sorry to hear, but hopefully it will serve as a lesson to us all. In cases like that I'm pretty sure this watch won't ever be on the market. Seems like he was targeted by someone who goes to the gym and knows about watches. 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.

Secondchance · 10 July 2019, 02:36 AM

Nothing worse than thieves and people who hurt children. Sorry your friend had to be a victim of a scum bag.

1665fan · 10 July 2019, 03:47 AM

Sorry to hear thats a fairly unique patina I hope it turns it and he gets it back!!

VanAdian · 10 July 2019, 03:54 AM

That truly sucks. Patrol the local pawn shops and kijiji/craigslist listings - you may get lucky.
I haven't been taking my watches to the gym for that very reason - people been breaking into lockers/posing as "forgotten code/or lost key etc." around here (Vancouver) as well.
All the best.

kwcsports · 10 July 2019, 04:15 AM

Does insurance cover if you're at the gym ?

faimag · 10 July 2019, 04:25 AM

oh man...

phillip ridley · 10 July 2019, 04:35 AM

Ouch...that hurts!! Dumb question...but has he made a police report? From what I understand, pawn shops have to hold on to their merchandise for a period of days for this very reason.

mjclark32 · 10 July 2019, 04:39 AM

This has gained a lot of social media attention, hopefully it helps reunite the watch with the owner.
Thieve's are POS

bearjere21 · 10 July 2019, 05:59 AM

dang it; so sorry OP friend.

this one hurts.

timedate · 10 July 2019, 06:00 AM

gym lockers, hotel safes, not for me, you aint the only one with a key

Roley · 10 July 2019, 06:08 AM

Have your friend report it to the police ASAP. This is required for any insurance claim.

rollieguy · 10 July 2019, 06:08 AM

I would make sure your friend makes a Police report and also informs Rolex Canada of the watch being stolen. A friend of mine years ago also lost his Submariner in the same way in a Toronto gym locker room. These watches can be spotted a mile away and a gym locker room is the last place you should leave anything of great value. I hope its someone just trying to turn a fast buck and your friend is able to recover his watch.
