5 Tips To Prevent Watch Theft

[@daintiestquarters3411]

Great tips. But we should not be paranoid, otherwise the pleasure of collecting goes away. ❤

[@hectorlara2059]

Sorry another tip, try to carry a cheap watch too (invicta is a good one), so if you feel unsecure, chance the watch you are wearing and the thieves Will get the cheap one. It has worked for me a couple of times

[@Kamala_sux]

A couple of times? How many times have you been robbed?

[@Pianoman999]

@@Kamala_sux It's an odd crime syndicate. They only target Invicta owners.

[@PaulThorpeOfficial]

Good solid advice.

[@chrisquinn4181]

For anything over $10k strongly recommend watch insurance. If you can afford a $10k or higher watch you should be able to afford the insurance.

Had my Jeweler engrave this on the inside the back of my Datejust with black diamond dial/Fluted ... If not (My Name) Watch is stolen Would never sell - Reward (My Number) (My Email) Guy got in my face, another guy pretended to break it up, watch smoothly taken off wrist. 3 days later a Jeweler called me and said "Saw the engraving inside the Rolex, was it stolen?" I said yes! And told him to call the cops, he did and I drove three cities over to get it back. He refused the reward.

When I wear my Rolex am also wearing my Browning in my concealed holster

Probably living in a country that has over 30K gun deaths a year. Not a solution any right thinking person would be looking for.

[@MakerInMotion]

I wonder where the threshold is for what they think is worth stealing. Would they go after a Tudor or Longines? Are they savvy enough to not be fooled by an homage?

[@shrevecrumplow]

Good question. We think that wearing a homage can be just as risky because the thief may think you have the real thing. Some lesser known brands may be a bit safer to wear.

Keep your head on a swivel, carry a gun legally and you’re golden

[@MakerInMotion]

@@bzee3717 If you shot someone who was trying to steal your watch, you're not golden. You could end up in prison. I think I'll wear my Hamilton if I'm anywhere sketchy instead.

[@bzee3717]

@@MakerInMotion you are so wrong, but you do you man

[@FABM27]

Tudors are shitters and thieves dont care about Longines (lovely watches😊). No thief will bother unless its a mugging and you are in a blind alley. Why would you be there?

[@hectorlara2059]

Another tip, I always try to use a chepa watch if im in

[@daintiestquarters3411]

Great channel❤

[@johnprosser5035]

The Timepiece Gentleman I think committed fraud by saying he'd had been robbed but had basically stolen his customers watches himself!!!!

[@samnova450]

Great tips. Also don’t wear your expensive watches when flying. Guy lost his Rolex to thief on motorcycle, was being threatened with a gun.

[@JM.TheComposer]

Flying? Did the thief pull his motorcycle up to the plane on the tarmac?

[@FABM27]

He means dont go abroad with your expensive watch. I use my Grand Seiko watches when travelling.

[@dakotaxu4792]

WEAR AN ATHLETIC WRISTBAND OVER YOUR WATCH WHEN IN PUBLIC, take off the wristband when you arrive at the restaurant/party etc

[@nogoodname8133]

I only post my location and pictures of places I visit, after the fact…

[@robertkreamer7522]

Heard of people getting shot because they had a fake Rolex on

[@Flushandfit]

Wild

[@magnusrix-mller3353]

Wear a real one then instead if wearing a fake one means you get shot

[@MC14may]

If a person takes an interest in my watch when I'm out ill tell them it's just a copy

[@jamesfreeman7954]

With high tax rates, you would think you can walk around safely with something you worked so hard for, but no.

Not since the defund the police movement
