Might be some very 'discounted' gens getting passed around the pub soon :p

Too bad if you had just bought a convincing rep of these, lol. Try explaining that to your local cop shop!

Time was money for a jewel thief who stole $177,000 worth of designer watches in July, but police hope his time will soon be up after releasing a photo of the suspect this afternoon.

The man in the CCTV image is alleged to have swiped a box of Bulgari watches from an unattended courier van in Sydney's Pitt Street, near Martin Place, while a delivery was made to a nearby jewellery store, about 4pm on July 28.

The boxes contained four new styles of Bulgari watches, each valued at approximately $4000 and with an individual serial number. There were more than 40 watches in the box.

Police decided to release the image after "exhaustive inquiries" failed to locate the man or the watches.

The man is described as being between 30-40 years, wearing a black cap, blue and yellow fluorescent long-sleeved collared shirt, blue adidas trackpants and white joggers.

Detectives want to hear from anyone who might have been in the area at the time or who know the man's identity.

Anyone with information should contact Crime Stoppers...yadda yadda....

Anyway little does CS realise that it is either the Melbourne or Brisbane pubs that these watches will turn up at, could be a little hot for Sydneysiders. :D

Love your fashion sense, C-Stone!

Yes, well I thought I'd use some reverse psychology - why wear something that blends into the background when you can wear in-your-face day-glow yellow.

Besides, the cops already have an APB out on my usual outfit:

I don't think you could safely wear one of those watches this side of Kalgoorlie!

Mind you it probably only cost Bulgari a few thousand dollars at the most to make the whole lot...

Plus the cardboard box, mind! They're not free you know!

Interesting point, I wonder what the dealers/manufacturers insure their watches for (full retail, wholesale, costs) - maybe this was the easiest 150,000 Bulgari ever made!
