Watch stolen

[alanruss]

last night I had my watch stolen by some in C London. Its basically worth nothing so I have no idea why they did it. I chased after them but they were gone across some traffic and down a side street. I've had it 12 years and its just sentimental. I'd have preferred my phone / wallet etc to have been nicked.

So long story short I want to get the same watch.. a photo is here but I haven't ever seen one apart from mine .

Anyone know where I can buy one like this? I'll try ebay of course, and I have rung accurist to see if they have the model number so I can use that for searches. I'd got it reconditioned by them a couple of years ago so it was mint.

So annoying, police just gave me a crime ref. Thats it basically no chance of getting it back at all

If you live in the area then it's worthwhile wandering round any of the pawn shops and cash generator type places to see if it pops up.

Sad news, irrespective of monetary value it's not nice when something of sentimental value gets pinched by some bottom feeding scum.

Mate thats an awesome idea. Must try to look around the area.

Seb, I was leaving Loop bar in C London at about 2am and some guy asked me the time and then grabbed my arm and wrestled it off my wrist. I'm a bit less angry now so I am just thankful that I didn't get knifed etc for it I guess. My housemate said he must just do it 10x a night and someone is gonna be wearing a sppedmaster etc.

There are alot of places around Loop Bar I guess, might have had a chance of finding the watch in Bracknell or somewhere, dud prob selling it today somewhere.

Hi Alan

Sorry about your loss, but I can help!!!

The watch is an ACCURIST SPORT CHRONOGRAPH model number OT10

I got it on Friday down London......(sorry )

Saw the picture and couldn't believe it. It was my first "real" watch.
I bought it in 1995 and still have it!

Hope that helps!

cheers mate, at least I know what to look for. Its v nearly a googlewhack (sadly briniging up only 2 entries on the whole of google! ) Damn!

Must start ringong around some cash con-verters type places soon I guess.

PS, you don't want to sell it do you? Worth an ask I guess. PM me if so!
