“ Two watches that the suspects attempted to steal were recovered at the scene“.

Man those cases really are empty!

Avs Fan · 20 July 2019, 07:26 AM

They must have been targeting the highly desirable empty case covers.

Hilarious!

Wow, that store is my local. I'm actually looking at this Tourneau store from my office window right now. Sorry to hear about the armed robbery attempt- must have been scary. Some nice people work there.

Is it safe to wear your Rolex in London?

I rest my case.

caveatesq · 20 July 2019, 08:38 AM

Same type of smash and grab robbery happened at the Tourneau in White Plains, NY about a year ago.

brandog · 20 July 2019, 08:50 AM

The hell with the SS models. These thieves go straight for the PM's. The big money pieces. Don't kid yourself. Tourneau in Pentagon City near DC got hit a few years ago $800,000 USD of PM Rolex GONE. Never recovered.

jrs146 · 20 July 2019, 10:01 AM

Ha what’s there to grab after you smash? An empty case??

SlideRacker · 20 July 2019, 10:11 AM

Nearly every AD I know has been hit over the years.

Carry The Interest · 20 July 2019, 10:20 AM

"I plan on stopping by my AD next week to check out some watches, is it safe to wear my Rolex there?!?!? Should I just leave my watch at home??"

It’s like a bank robbery. They want the store’s watches, not yours.

Apparently not the sharpest tools in the shed. I hope the AC at Rikers Island is broken.

Probably going to the boat

Crazy busy over there too

_speedmaster_ · 20 July 2019, 11:38 AM

Man, had no idea this happened. I was two blocks away at the time.

77T · 20 July 2019, 11:41 AM

It's good to know that nobody was hurt in this. The lack of cerebral wattage among these robbers never fails to amaze me. This is too common of an occurrence these days and it's a shame.

Walked by yesterday morning and I think it hadn't been robbed yet... man that's an exceedingly dumb robbery. They could have gone to a bar and taken one off a drunk banking associate's wrist.

Do they still have that TV show where they show you the dumbest criminals?

Watchflair · 20 July 2019, 11:04 PM

So terrible - glad they were caught and everyone is safe.

Value everyday - no clue what one of these guys would have done if cornered.

Fat_ninja · 21 July 2019, 07:58 AM

This is what happens when rolex stops shipping SS Dj41’s

FrankNYC · 21 July 2019, 08:34 AM

If they place their name on the waiting list a SS sport model might be available by the time they get out.
