Legion sorry to hear about your accident. You should really forget about the watch and just enjoy life and try to stay safe even if that means not wearing watches at night. Unlike others, I’d strongly disagree about all cities being similarly unsafe. London is a stab city, every year it loses 100+ young people to meaningless knife crime and the gangsters are really growing bolder by the cuts in policing and the like. It is after all a place that commonly see sledgehammer attacks on high end watch and jewellery stores that often times sit just across large police stations. In the grand scheme of life losing a watch, franken or not, is nothing compared to unforgiving reality in this city. As someone who also lives and works there, I find it that people are growing more and more complacent about the real troubles here. Early signs are that it is becoming the NYC of the 90ies, just closer to continental Europe.
On a side note, it is precisely the above that keeps me in the business of building frankens. While I love AP design ethos, I don’t feel it right to walk around with a £20k watch on the wrist in general in this particular place
But I do enjoy my frankens still
