he was shoved a couple of times and they took his million dollar watch?? lol...insurance scam. watched insured at $2m
If the story is true (highly doubtful) , and the insurance company actually pay out this guy ( also highly doubtful ) . What's the thief going to get for it , and who would buy it . As it would have no authentication paper work , and the buyer could never ever put it up for sale on the legit marketplace , so no watch enthusiast would even consider it. Could end up being sold in a pub for a couple of hundred dollars.

And what tells you that? Can a 22 year old not be successful and making bank without his parents shoving things up his arse?
Becuase most likely any 22 years old smart enough to make that kind of money would most likely be smarter with what he wears when out and about vacationing in other country. Even without being mugged i cant imagine carrying such a valuable item with you while you trying to relax/vacation. I mean he had to wear it wherever he goes.... leaving it in hotel room while he is out clubbing or whatever??

If I spend that kind of money on a watch, I’ll want to wear it as well not have it rot in a safe. Also when making this kind of money, you usually go to places that are considered rather safeish which Ibiza is to a certain degree. If he was going to Capetown or Rio, that’s a completely different thing but it’s a place known for 'rich' people making vacations at. Shit can and will happen anywhere but that doesn’t make him stupid.

I was robbed a 15202 a few months ago, obviously it is a situation that leaves you in shock, but the fact that it is a replica is a huge relief hehe
What would be interesting to know is what happens with the gene that are stolen, as you guys mention, it is very difficult to sell a stollen RM limited edition, so they have to sell them tremendously cheap.

Couple year ago I intervened when two guys tried to rob a rose gold AP RO from someone else's wrist at 4pm in one of the busiest street of the city. Not as expensive but def. happening. When police showed up we were told that a gang had been perpetuating similar thefts and some weeks before a local celebrity had his +1 million euros worth watch snatched in similar fashion

Me and my girl friend had gone south of Tijuana to some Cathedral we stopped at to take pics , we had one of those cardboard disposable cameras.
This little Mexican boy with a donkey told us he would take our picture , for either an American 50 cent piece (they were getting rare at that time ) or a US dollar bill .
i didnt have a 50 cent piece , so i agreed on a dollar .
he told us to get in the fountain and he would take our pic . (everyone was doing it )
we took our shoes off and got in the fountain , and turned around and saw him running away .
he left the donkey , but made off with my $6 dollar camera and my dollar bill
we just laughed at eachother (me and my old lady )
....walked into that one , i guess
