Lawnmower2021 423 Posted February 20, 2022 This hits a little close to home. Literally, I used to live in this neighborhood. https://bronx.news12.com/nypd-man-tied-up-shot-and-robbed-inside-sheepshead-bay-home-3-suspects-at-large Quote Officials say a resident of the building answered the door of his home when a woman knocked on it and told him he hadn’t paid his monthly dues. However, when the man opened the door, they say two men took out guns and forced their way in. They fought with the victim until one of them allegedly shot him in his leg. Officials say the suspects then tied up the man’s wrists with zip ties and raided the apartment for about $1,600 worth of his belongings, including a Rolex, iPhone and credit cards, before they fled. PSA: If you don't know who it is, don't open the door. I had a HUGE problem at my old apartment with people letting every random person in the building.

Grapeshot 301 Posted February 21, 2022 If it was $1,600 it wasn't a Rolex. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnnyB 4,289 Posted February 21, 2022 I used to collect fine watches. I never had a Rolex. I prefer Omega! I just think it's a better quality watch. Despite the variety of watches I own, I wear an Omega James Bond Seamaster automatic every day. If a crackhead bastard wants to take it from me, he will have to kill me first! It's not about the value of the watch.....It's the principle that I will always fight back! I welcome any dumb bastard to try to rob me in my home! My face is the last thing he will see in this life! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a Rolex 50th Anniv Submariner that never comes out of the safe. My daily is split between a Breitling Super Ocean and an Omega Planet Ocean. They're all kept in the same safe as my loaded SIG. I also had a Canal St Special Rolex which actually kept pretty good time. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
