FWIW I don’t think they shot him because of his watch.

Hope he recovers.

So the guy would kill a man for a watch but not steal his car as well?? This whole thing happened in a high-end place as well.

I am certain this goes beyond theft of a watch ....

Lux cars have GPS tracking.

Looks like just another 'new normal' day in LA.

Stranger and stranger.

"The man was driving a Rolls-Royce Phantom, and although the victim's identity is unknown, Eyewitness News has learned the car is registered to entrepreneur and Korean royal Andrew Lee.

Lee is the crown prince of the imperial family of Korea and founder of London Trust Media. He is heir to the Joseon dynasty, which ruled Korea for centuries until 1897."

I don’t think the dude they pulled out of that car was Korean.

Hmm, was it his Boy Toy? We know one SoCal grey dealer that caters with full service sales.

As market prices fall below insured values, more and more watches are stolen everyday.

My takeaway is that rolling around in a Rolls Royce is not a great idea, and criminals with guns is also not a great thing.
