Very sorry to hear this. We are out there to visit family a lot and I usually wear one of my Rolexes. What part of town and time of day please? Hope you are ok and can recover the watch!

Would also like to know the story; if it was a robbery, it would be good to spread awareness of common tactics so others avoid the circumstances (if there was anything leading up to it).

Hope you get it back; there's a decent chance it will be sent back to Rolex one day.

Sorry to hear that OP. I hope you get it back somehow. A piece looking like that will be red hot and twice as noticeable to anyone with the nerve to wear. I know sh×t can happen anywhere. My son lives/works in sfcisco and i lived in LA myself 4yrs. but damn i hate cali now, glad i escaped. California dreamn's been dead to me for a long time. sorry to rag but i can't help it. Don't give up hope on getting it back, It's not the usual under the radar piece. You just never know.

Good reason they are bleeding population to other states. Folks are moving away in droves. Can't blame 'em.

You can't have anything nice anymore. All the best with it and all the worst for whatever dickhead stole it from you.
