Hello everyone,
I'd like to increase my chances of recovering my stolen Omega Seamaster Professional 300M. It was stolen in London on the 2nd of February and the details are:
Year: 2019
Black dial
Serial number: 89593534
Reference: 21030422001001
Calibre: 8800
It was in very good condition when it was stolen.

If you come across someone selling it please do contact me or if you know who may have it please let me know. It has great sentimental value for me so I will offer up to £500 reward for any good real information that leads me to recover the watch.

Thanks in advance
Jluis

DBM due to urban myth-ness.

I wonder if it might be wiser to include only part of the SN in text and pix, to minimize the odds of its appearing on a fake 300M?

Urban myth.

Will keep an eye on it, pal. So sorry to hear the news. We live in a time where phones can locate themselves globally without any SIM card yet we can't recover them! I'd have loose hope but keep trying.

A friend of mine managed to recover his phone with an amazing persistence. He kept good eye on eBay, found a post featuring the phone, convinced the seller to meet and got it back. So you'll never know. And we're in solidarity with you!

There are some databases where you can list stolen watches. One was set up and is run by a fellow OF member. Sorry I do not have the link to the site handy, but a search on OF should bring up the thread(s)

Sorry to hear this. If you don’t mind me asking, was this stolen from your wrist or in some other fashion?

So the watch was stolen 9 months ago? As much as we'd like to help, it may have already changed hands several times over...

I would also like to know what exactly happened. I understand if you don’t want to share, but maybe it will prevent someone else from having it happen to them?

Thank you BlackTalon, I have registered in all the registers I found but so far no luck.

Yes, I reported it straight away and I added it in some stolen watches registers but so far no luck.

It was stolen from my wrist on a night out in London.

Well what happened to me was more about trusting wrong people to be honest. I was on a night out celebrating with a couple of friends in London. I had an accident, fell down some stairs in a pub and broke 4 ribs (yes, I had too many beers). My friends went to grab coats from the cloakroom and I went outside and waited leaning on a lamp post, but I was in so much pain so there was this group of 3 guys just next to me and 1 of them came to help me, he said "I'll take you somewhere were you can sit". He put his arm under my armpits and kind of drag me away, I remember he hurt me a couple of times, then he kind of dropped me on the floor in a nearby street and when I looked up he was completely gone. A few minutes later I realised my watch was not in my wrist.

Go back to the bar and see if they have cameras there, maybe you can recognize the guy who "helped" you.
If you'll have he's picture it might be easier to locate him or get the police to track him down.
