Really sorry to hear that. Too many posts with similar thefts and a big reason that I do not keep my watch collection in my home. I will keep your watches in mind in case I see any of them show up for sale on the internet. I hope that you're able to recover them.

I’ve added insurance via Hodinkee/Chubb for all my pieces over $1000. It’s easy and affordable and gives replacement value coverage. I mention this because I’ve seen 3 forum posts in the last 60 days of thefts and I’d say it was one of those posts that convinced me to do it.

Looked into that recently -- US-only as of now. Possible in insure watches separately in Canada, but it ain't cheap.

Really sorry to hear about these thefts, OP, and hope you get some answers soon, and a possible retrieval of these items. Hate to read stories like this but does seem more common as of late.

Really sorry to hear this happen to you.

I know someone who had 6 figures worth of watches stolen and he was really shaken up long after.

More often than not, these types of robberies are from people who know the victim.

Hopefully this has a happy endig.

Insurance can only recover the monetary loss, sometimes there are memories and other attachments to pieces that can never be replaced. I had my most favorite, thinnest, coolest wallet stolen once, and a couple weeks later, the contents of my wallet were mailed back to me - everything, credit cards, photos, license, social security card, except the cash, and the wallet itself. The handwritten letter inside said "I'm sorry I picked your wallet after I read the note on one of your photos. Hears[sic] your stuff back. I kept the money to pay the postage, and for me because I'm good, and kept your wallet because it's a really nice wallet."

It was a really nice wallet. Brookes Brothers.

Be sure to register them with Omega as well. Email Omega the serial numbers and your police report/insurance claim. If you're really lucky these will one day come in for servicing and hopefully get flagged. Fingers crossed.

I had almost my entire collection stolen January of 2021 (no luck with the police and the insurance ordeal is a whole other story! 3+ years of litigation now and counting).

In Canada you can schedule your watches as a separate rider (with most "good" carriers). I've found it's typically in the neighbourhood of about 1.25-1.5% of insured value annually. Jewellers Mutual is another option if you want purely jewellery insurance.

Based on personal experience I'd avoid Aviva like the plague.
