This happened to a former colleague of mine. He was en expat in Mombasa. Reading the newspaper and having a coffee at a curbside cafe when a machete swinging madman copped his arm off and stole his watch. The arm was discarded and subsequent found. The watch was gone.

Were they able to re attach his arm in surgery?

I’m sure this would be a possibility of the attack happened in a developed country. However in his case the arm was not reattached. The cut was just below the elbow,

What brand of watch was he wearing and how long ago did this happen.

This was in 2014. I’m not sure what kind of watch it was but I think it was a TAG or Breitling. No real value. In a internal memorandum we were all instructed not to wear any jewelry or watches when traveling as a result of this incident.

Wow, only 7 years ago. Sad to hear that.

I see in the PT pics (on their website) that movement engraving now says 330, does it mean that it also has the hacking second feature that 330 has? I would be pleasantly surprised if that is the case, they probably just changed the engraving (but I hope I am wrong)

What the fuck? Are you sure you didnt watch some movie about something that went down in the early 1900s and confuse it for reality?

No. I was told after the fact. I was working on another country.
Mombasa ain’t LA brother.

"The caseback print '2021' will be correct when release." (!)

beautiful gen, rep looks very good - but personally it would be too much "on the radar" for me... (gen and rep)

You’re right, got my QC this morning, the watch is not bad as 1st attempt, will put a Buff dial & DW on it

Is the case back supposed to be angled that way?
