Doc - all of us long time members are just happy that watch is back on your wrist where it belongs!

For those newer members - this old thread is a great lesson for all of us.

I will never forget the help I received from the TRF members that led to the recovery of my watches and cash. After reading many scam stories since, I'm frankly surprised that the watched and money were returned.

The funniest thing is that the thief walked into the Columbia, South Carolina sheriff's office and gave the watches to the detective I was working with. Admitted he had stolen them. That's crazy.

Thank you for clearing that up

Door-to-door pogo stick sales and ferris wheel painter.

Not really into Rolex because they don't make happy face watches.
