Watch Out: Rolex Theft Soars Across Western Cities
24th August 2023
From the shit-covered streets of San Francisco to the crime-ridden boroughs of New York City and the migrant-packed neighborhoods of London and Paris, timepiece aficionados are hiding their expensive wristwatches.
Why? A tidal wave of Rolex theft is sweeping across the Western world. Those once flaunting their Rolex, Patek, and Audemars Piguet – the wrist trophies of ‘success’ – are leaving them at home. New data from Bloomberg, citing The Watch Register, revealed a staggering $1.3 billion in luxury watch thefts last year.
The Watch Register said on its website its “database currently lists over 80,000 lost and stolen watches, and is growing rapidly.” The database contains 850 different brands and watchmakers, including Rolex, Omega, Cartier, Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe, Richard Mille, Breitling, TAG, Heuer, IWC, Jaeger LeCoultre, and others.
Every nation is becoming a Turd World nation.
