I assume that they went after the Rolexes first, but the display cases were already empty? Well, there’s always the wait list.

Yeah, they aren’t getting those back. You would think you would yank your inventory from a country before you tell them they suck. The Swiss aren’t familiar with this game.
Perhaps they should go back in 10 years with the numbered accounts their watches are in and see if they can get them back. 😗

I’m guessing those serials ain’t going to be serviced… or returned from service though

My guess is that they'll be flipped for roubles in "friendly countries" where bling is king and there's no shortage of cash.

They are stealing planes from airlines companies... So, watches, not that surprising. The Oligarchs can't buy them, so let's steal them now

Hi all,
I call BS on Millions of Dollars of watches being seized as AP much like Rolex or RM don't actually have watches you can just walk in and buy you need to be chosen and then wait for your watch to arrive. But this makes for a good headline story I suppose.

AP... don't actually have watches you can just walk in and buy you need to be chosen and then wait for your watch to arrive

I'd maybe correct this to say that AP don't have the watches that most people want to buy in stock... but like PP if you want something in gold or platinum covered in gem stones you are normally able to buy it the same day from a boutique.

The rumour is that the stock in Russia was at the top end of the truly fυcking hideous.
