Only just up the road from me though - poor bugger.

Same here, I'm just outside Woking and it's always a target around here. Luckily mine are safely locked up...

Acts as a reminder for everyone to take pics, note of Serial Numbers and get insured!!!

One would assume that someone with £20k's worth of watches would have a safe.

Not as easy as it should be.

This is what makes me dubious about storing all your watches in one fancy box. I know you should be able to if you want, but it must be like christmas when the burglars find it.

Even more reason not to have a watch winder or your "display" box out on show.

Exactly

[andy_s]

A lesson to us all - get pics, get serial numbers and get insurance. Then buy a watch winder display box...

Yes, the Lidl tea box fits width ways in my safe with just over one centimetre to spare. Surely people keep their better watches in their original boxes though?


One further point: I have far more than £20,000-worth of watches, assuming that were talking new-for-old insurance values? Probably over £35,000 if the Heuer stopwatches are all worth £750 each to my insurers - what everything would sell for on eBay is quite different of course.....

Maybe he was bragging about it and being somewhat too loud about it.....overheard by someone who though he should "relieve" him of the brag.

I just added a 12.5k (rrp) watch to my policy that covers ole for new - loss/theft/damage UK and abroad. (doesnt have to be in a safe)

extra premium of £24pcm

I though this was quite reasobnable..?

[LordGrover]

£288 p.a.? Sounds like money for old rope to me.

its not the overall value you need to worry about (unless you are generally under insured) its the single limit. If any one item is above the single item limit then you need to think about separate insurance otherwise its all covered under contents.

I also insure my high ticket ones for their second hand value (i.e. price to replace) rather than new. helps keep the premiums down.

I think also it the valuation.


Right mr pesty your ezm2 was stolen here is £400

err but you can't get one for that anymore they don't make them.

Not my problem did you have it valued?

no I treid but every jewelers told me to fk off. One said come back in 6 months and well have you collection for a few weeks and charge you £300 though. (even though I could dig out all info needed in an hour for all of them).

Mr pesty here is £400 now fk off.

But the last one I saw sold was over 800 !

just hear say without a valuation from a jewers mr pesty take 400 or fk off.
