Entire Rolex Watch Collection STOLEN in Oxfordshire, UK

Sad to report that a close friend has had his entire Rolex watch collection (and a Hublot Bing Bang) stolen in the last few days. The theft was from his home in Oxfordshire, so could all UK dealers/buyers be aware of any of the following watches (or the entire collection) appearing for sale. My friend still has the box and papers for all of these watches, so the thief is going to be selling them 'naked'.

Daytona 116500 LN (2017)
Yachtmaster 226659 (2020
GMT 16710 (1991)
Daytona 116515 LN (2013)
Deep Sea 116660 (2014)
GMT 127610 BLNR (2019)
GMT 127610 BLRO (2019)
Day-Date 40 228239 (Meteorite dial/baguette diamonds) 2019


The DD40 in particular is quite an unique configuration so ought to stand out!

The Hublot also stolen was a limited edition 2014 black dial.

Thanks all - hoping TRF can help!

You should post the serial numbers. Otherwise not much can be done. How would a UK dealer know if they see a Deep Sea that it’s the one you’re friend is looking for?

I’m feeling for your friend. I hope his insurers do the right thing. My fingers are crossed for him.

I'm really sorry to hear this happened to your friend, that was one nice collection, tell him to report the watches stolen to the RSC they might be able to flag the watches if they're brought into the service center.

Wow, what a stellar collection. Report #s to RSC so if any sent in for service down the road, recovery may be possible. What a bummer :-(
