All those used rolex shops peddling watches with no box or papers provided by those same robbers. London circle of life

Papers can be fake now, very hard to see difference

The shops are colluding with the robbers. They inform the robbers in the area, rob it, bring it back to the shop, shops pays 50% under the reselling price, rinse and repeat. Bob's your uncle! The correct way to conduct businesses with them is to make appointment for them to come either to your office or to your home.

@ah97165 28 күн бұрын

Clickbait. Let me tell you how watches get robbed in London. Someone will be wearing a watch to restaurant/club. The security guard/waiter at the place will notice that you're wearing an expensive watch. He/she will then contact people setting you up. They will be ready around the corner of the street in balaclavas on a moped waiting for their inside man to tell them that they're leaving and so forth. I've been Hatton garden millions of times. This is not even 10% accurate 😂 (I live 20 minutes away from Hatton Gardens. Trust me I know)

Until they changed the way the police could ‘interact’ with moped robbers, you could get a high value watch robbed anywhere in London. Obviously gangs will target areas with more of them watches on peoples wrists. Soon as police started crashing into the mopeds there was coincidentally a downturn in moped watch thefts 😂 who would’ve thought it 😂
