Fuuuuuckkkk!!!

I don’t think watches like these will go unnoticed in the collector world. If these pop up, I assume people will notice.

Ian, I am so sorry to hear about this. This was clearly a professional job. I hope you find the motherf*ckers.

To me, that’s the thing that’s most upsetting- it’s one thing to be violated by a random act, but to be targeted- that’s just fυcked up. I hope the dollar amount (I should say pound) involved will make the local police take it seriously- not to mention the insurance inspectors- this is akin to art theft.

Thanks all the well wishes.

I now need to get to my works PC to pull off my spreadsheet with all serial numbers on.

Will next update thread with serial numbers hopefully later today or tomorrow at latest.


To reiterate £10000.00 cash reward for names given to me for the scumbags that have done this along with safe return of watches.

Sorry to hear this happened mate, I had a burglary here while we were all home and they took the 911 I’d only had for three months. Even after getting the car back and having it repaired to new I wasn’t able to sleep properly and get it out of my mind until moving to a new house. Yours does sound really organized and scarily so.

Just glad my wife and 2 young children were all out.

Eddie, my Bulldog, was locked in his cage so thankfully they left him uninjured.

I’m sure it goes without saying but can’t hurt to echo: this is literally all that matters

sometimes, winter is the best reminder of spring.

Terrible to hear about this kind of theft, someone definitely knew what you had, its location and the existence of CCTV. Widen your list of possible leads to anyone who might have been aware of your collection, unfortunately that includes friends and acquaintances. Someone may have said something to the wrong bunch of people.

Best of luck with your insurance claim.

Terrible news.
Targeted attack , just the thought of them casing you out is horrible and disturbing .
Comfort and strength to you and your family.
Safes need to be large ,heavy and fixed to concrete.

I follow you on IG, so sorry to hear about this.
Little conciliation though it may be, the health and safety of you and your family is what really matters at the end of the day. Will keep my eyes out.

I’ve just woken up and read your post, absolute tossers but luckily you & your family were not at the house . And you have insurance , which may help compensate for your watches . From reading what you have described of the burglary it seems they knew exactly where to look for your safe and hard drive , so somebody would have had to know where to look . Hopefully the police will take the burglary seriously and make a effort to catch the thief or thieves .

Start asking neighbors for footage from any smart doorbells or the like that they may have.

Oh Dear..... If you can recover all or parts of it, do exactly the same. Safe. Bolted where yours was bolted to. CCTV. But : safe empty. Additional motion camera in the room. Store your valuables somewhere else. Maybe inside a part removable door frame..... Good luck !
