Stolen Rolex 14060M. What do I do?

Had my newly purchased 2012 Rolex Submariner (No Date) 14060M stolen from my golf bag at a golf course today. Presidio Golf Course in San Francisco. The watch was in my golf bag pocket. I was away from the bag for maybe 10 minutes while warming up. I think someone saw me take my watch off and put it in my bag (bag was on golf cart). Didn't know the watch was gone until I finished the round. Filed stolen property report in pro shop. Filed police report with SF Park Police (Presidio is Federal Land). Filed online San Francisco Police Report.

Serial # 928066D9

Literally have only had the watch 5 days. Not sure what else to do. Is there a way to register the watch as stolen somewhere?

My 10 yr old has a G-Shock and already knows the golden rule: never, ever, take your watch off, unless you are at home and placing it into the watch case.

My dad was with a Taiwanese business associate at the Ritz Hotel in Madrid, his associate took off his gold day/date to wash his hands, and yup, a kid ran off with it.

I pack my watch in a casebudi clipped into the inside of my laptop backpack before I leave for the airport. That way nobody ever saw it except the X-ray person and they probably can’t tell what it is other than “watch”.

Any camera footage around?
I don’t know about now but the Presidio was a very cool area back in the 90’s.

Before I wear any of my newly acquired watches I make sure they've been appraised and insured. Saves me headache. If it's stolen then I get the money from insurance to replace it.
Sorry buddy...I kmow it still sucks.

Sorry to hear about this... Myself, if I know I am going somewhere or doing an activity that requires taking my watch off (I usually leave it on), then I just don't take it with me on that occasion.

Ugh, so sorry to read this… if I may, your list of possible suspects are lower, compared to other scenarios of theft..
how many people were you playing golf with that day?
Was this an often frequented course you play on? If yes, then someone you don’t know could’ve been eyeing you for weeks
Any security cameras?

Sincere good luck sir

Contact Rolex USA and ask if they will put your watch into their stolen watch registry so if it is ever turned in for service it will be flagged. You will need to provide the police report.

Sorry to hear. If you cannot wear it, leave it home in a safe place. Too easy to lose off wrist. Hope you can replace soon.

Well maybe you'll understand, or maybe you won't. We'll just have to wait and see.

Sorry to hear this as getting items stolen is a terrible experience and feeling. Similar thing happened years ago on this forum and some how the watch made its way in the main part of the bag and the guy found it later on when cleaning out his bag… I know it’s a one in a couple million shot, but worth a look/check.
