That's crazy..and sad...

Ny325 · 2 June 2020, 10:07 AM

I thought inventory was put away in a vault? Very sad.

Chloe&Harley · 2 June 2020, 10:13 AM

Very unfortunate.. Do they sell used ? Everything I read is low to zero inventory at AD’s

Good question. Not sure why all of the inventory wouldn’t be locked up.

42itus · 2 June 2020, 10:23 AM

I hope they had a good insurance policy.

I would think so as well that all would be in the vault. $2.4m is a lot just to have out while the store is closed (and possibly has been for weeks).

Conspiracy theory, they wanted to have everything stolen in order to claim the insurance?

spersky · 2 June 2020, 10:37 AM

2.4 million in Rolexe's sitting around after hours not in the safe. If that is true, I doubt insurance will cover it.

Spartacus · 2 June 2020, 10:40 AM

$2.4m in damage... I can see that.

Lost merchandise...where is the vault and interior security cameras? These places can’t be that superficially vulnerable..:right??

Yess · 2 June 2020, 10:44 AM

I can't see how this is possible without some very clear negligence on part of the AD.
Unless, of course, they gained access to the vault somehow?

Melanotaenia · 2 June 2020, 10:50 AM

This is the Watches of Switzerland store on Greene Street; I have walked past many many times. It makes no sense that they did not have these locked away, considering stores in SOHO have been closed since March. Very strange.

And they carry Rolex but also a lot of other brands as well.

Bummer.

acarriles · 2 June 2020, 11:35 AM

I quote directly from the article:

“The Rolex store is empty,”

Yes, that's what we've been saying for over a year!!!

spersky · 2 June 2020, 11:40 AM

Did the article mention if the wait list was also stolen? Because money can be replaced but the lost time of all those poor people waiting for their Rolex is irreplaceable.

The store’s spokesman said “no watches of any kind were stolen, as there weren’t any on display in the store. There were simply windows broken and some vitrines smashed.”

Was that added later to the original story?

samuel019 · 2 June 2020, 12:05 PM

Umm what did they steal?

The story read “according to the store spokesman no watches of any kind were stolen”

High end jewelry I suppose or am I missing something?

Regardless just plain sad. Is it supposed to be protesting or an excuse to smash and grab?

Beat me to the punch...

I’m as confused as you I guess

Not to mention I’d assume all high end stuff would be locked in a heavy duty safe or vault. I would find hard to believe inventory was just laying around but I’ve never worked in a jewelry store so what do I know

1665fan · 2 June 2020, 12:06 PM

A lot of people didn’t get there hangtags.....

They stole the wait list for $2.4 mil of Daytonas, BLNR and BLRO's and SS SkyD's.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

I’d imagine every A D is removing all the watches they don’t have in stock into a more secure magical place in never never land

cph81 · 2 June 2020, 12:23 PM

It is like trying to loot the bank. You are not going to find money laying around.

EndlessEight · 2 June 2020, 12:25 PM

No one read the article. Frankly I’m not sure how it was even published with these discrepancies.

The store’s spokesman said “no watches of any kind were stolen, as there weren’t any on display in the store. There were simply windows broken and some vitrines smashed.”

The Cops don’t know the lock away policy and probably assumed everything was stolen
And thus misreported to the tabloid news.

SubMarin18 · 2 June 2020, 12:53 PM

The initial article was very high level. Seems as though there have been updates.

ltmgeller · 2 June 2020, 12:56 PM

So sad. They are trying to get into Rolex on 5th ave right now.

Just sensationalism and scaremongering.

trfChris · 2 June 2020, 01:44 PM

With the update the article makes no sense at all.

Title: $2.4M worth of Rolexes stolen from store.

Story: Storeowner says “Nothing was stolen”.
