    Devastating news. I hope they are found soon. Just for our edification! Where they locked away? Any security? This may encourage some of us to take steps to secure ours.
    But really sorry to hear

    Must be so painful for you. Even with replacement funds the time and emotional energy in putting the collection together can't be replaced.
    Did they take anything else? You have lost too much already, was just wondering if you were targeted for the watches.

    So sorry to see this, you've got an incredible collection there, irreplaceable. Fingers crossed the police get their man and you get the whole collection back intact!

    Gutrenching, especially if you have tried to make is a difficult as possible. Hope they turn up.

    Horrible news Adam. I am heartbroken reading this and feel for you. Hopefully between things mentioned such as security footage, distinctive markings and/or serial numbers or insurance this will come to a happy conclusion. I’ll be sure to keep an eye on eBay, IG and forums.

    Appalling, I am very sorry to hear this.

    All I can say is remember they are only watches you have lost, not your health or family. Keep your chin up!

    Every collectors nightmare. Seems to me that the building would have records of that day? Hope the police round em up. Condolences on your loss.

    Happened to see this on Instagram and recognized the name.
    I can’t imagine. I’m so sorry. Hopefully there will be some recovery.

    @abrod520 Terrible news to hear, hopefully the good guys in this community can help. I know a lot have suggested posting serial numbers, but I would also suggest setting up watchrecon alerts for all your specific examples as that may help cover ground across the internet.

    Such a terrible feeling...

    I’m sick. So sorry for the loss. I’ll have my eyes peeled online. Many are very recognizable. If the thief is smart they’ll never make it online, but a smart is an oxymoron... best of luck. Will start looking.
