I knowingly bought a fake Rolex once, it was a great watch.

Crazy to be wearing a watch that expensive to the football but yeah that’s horrendous if someone took it off him while he was dead or dying. Scum. Hope to god it wasn’t a fellow hammer. 

What's crazy about wearing a Rolex to football? It's a game of football not a prison. 

I presume this bloke wasn't targeted beforehand, but there are plenty of examples out there of people being mugged on the street for their expensive watches. Some people now buy Chinese replicas to wear out and about and leave the 'real' things at home which is a bit mad if you think about it.

I don't wear a watch or any jewelry, I don't even have a wedding ring anf never have, I cam understand why others do though, just personal preference. 

I hope they get it back, awful for them on top of losing their dad.

This made me angry. Absolute cunts. 

I don’t see the point in watches and jewellery personally

[Manuel]

It's always scruffy cunts who feel the need to ask that ridiculous question.

For fashion as well as keeping the time in case your mobile battery dies during the day. Tune in same time tomorrow for more stating the bleeding obvious..

[Mr Anon]

Same reason people wear jewellery I guess, rings and chains aren't practical either

Why does anyone wear a wristwatch these days?

I read that it fell off when the fellow collapsed but yeah, it's a pretty shitty thing to profit from someone's demise.

Edit: I see that it fell off while being carried upstairs.
