when I was a 19 I always wanted a rolex so I bought a fake one from china town nyc. One day on the 7 train headed to flushing main street, I got jumped by a kid thinking it was real I just gave to him.


Tell me your stories

 

I don't have any stories (yet)...but if (when) it happens and I hand over my watch(es), I hope Mr. Jackhole doesn't get pissed off (and beat my ass) since my watches are fairly worthless (except for my Speedy Gonzales Moonwatch).

Mr. Jackhole: "Give me your watches or I'll beat your ass."

Mad Dog: "OK...here ya go, Mr. Jackhole!"

Mad Dog: "Ummm...can I go now, Mr. Jackhole? I have an appointment at Dunkin' Donuts."

 

lol

 

This is a horrible thread

 

Belongs on the Hublot forum.

 

My scenario ...Them: "Hand over your watch! " ... Me ..."OK". Having survived this encounter (hopefully) ... I call the police, file a report and then call my insurance company.

 

how so?

 

bring them over here buddy

 

Not any fun to think about.

A better thread would be something like:

Has a beautiful woman ever swooned into your arms when she saw your watch?

If we're gonna make up shit at least let it be fun shit.

 

Not for my watch. But I was pick pocketed and my phone was stolen while I was abroad. Used "FindMyiPhone" to track it. When I showed the friend I was staying with (6ft 4in 220lbs of pure muscle ex military scary teddy bear kinda guy) he told me "We go there and we don't come back alive". So bye bye iPhone for the rest of the trip.

 

where the hell was that? LOL

 

You are correct that it's not any fun to think about...BUT it could happen and you need to have a plan...and a smart plan (in my humble opinion) would be to immediately hand over your watch(es) in a non-threatening manner (which includes NOT addressing Mr. Jackhole as "Mr. Jackhole").

The more I think about it...if this were to happen to me...I might get lucky if Mr. Jackhole realizes that my watch(es) are fairly worthless (except for my Speedy Gonzales Moonwatch) and he may kindly give them back to me...because...you know...he'll feel sorry for me. But then again...I have fairly crappy luck (especially when I call certain individuals "Mr. Jackhole")...so I may get shot and die...OR...I could survive and go on to buy more fairly worthless watches! YAY!

 

It was in Israel on the border of the West Bank.

 

That would be a better thread, yes, but the sad truth is that any watch is infinitely more likely to get you mugged than laid.

 

In Texas id hand him the watch and then shoot his ass

 

Even New Yorker's know....Don't mess with Texas

 

I try to not wear a valuable one if I'm going anywhere somewhat unsafe.

I feel robbed paying MSRP for a watch, so I definitely don't want to get literally robbed again.

Friends house got broken into last week, so that and threads like this make me wonder what I'd do or how to prevent it.

 

Hopefully I would never have stories like that to tell...

 

Why in the world of sports are you wearing a right handed holster on your left side ?
