M5kirk Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 got home and found that I didn't have my watch case with me (6 watch travel case that my wife got for me). I know exactly where I left it... I was packing and took it out and placed it on a cabinet in the bedroom closet... forgot to put it back in suitcase. Anyway, called Wynn security after getting home and housekeeping hadn't turned anything in... they talked to the girl who cleaned the suite after I left and she claims that she didn't find anything... it now has new occupants. I have a feeling that I'm never going to see the watches again... here's what I've lost....SS IWC IngeIWC GST TitaniumPAM 172 on a Europelli Blue Stitch Cordovan strapPAM 127 (latest from Josh) on a Europelli strapGenuine Omega Speedmaster SchumacherFortunately I was wearing my new IWC AMG Titanium on nylon strap from River so I've still got that one. Crappy way to end a great trip.... just thought I'd share my sorrow with the group. Cheers! Kirk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam1174 Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 That sucks. I travel regularly for my job, and about a month ago I flew on a small Embraer that didn't have enough room in the overhead bin for my carry on. I had to check it plane side, and after I got on the plane I remembered that I had left my Seamaster Professional and a Submariner in it. I was only slightly concerned, but when I got to my destination I noticed that the outside zipper was unzipped. That was where I had stashed the watches. I immediately looked, and they were gone. I was [censored]. When you include shipping and WU fees, I had $500 wrapped up in those two watches, but there was no way for me to get any money back from Delta, or even claim them on my homeowners insurance because they were reps. Can't you claim your Omega on your homeowners insurance? It won't pay for everything, but at least you'll get some of your money back.

Chicken Manny Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Ouch, that is awful. I usually travel with a watch travel case (4) and more than a few times I have had that sinking feeling I left it in the hotel room. Luckily it hasn't happened yet. Very sorry for your loss. I guess the one good part is they weren't all gens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavor flav Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 that seriously sucks! i remember how i felt when my oakleys dissapeared out of the hotel room.. that's nothing compared to how you must feel! well at least you have a nice new watch to look forward to arriving wednesday or thursday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the bright side, at least they weren't gens!! And in the grand scheme of things, this stuff is replaceable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronus Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 That's a sad story And you lost a GENUINE Omega Speedmaster - even worse Hopefully you can claim that on insurance after producing the box and receipts etc, but they may say it was due to your own negligence, but I wish you could luck. It doesn't hurt to try. If I travel, it is usually with 2 watches, so when I go out and fly back, I wear one on each wrist. Can't forget it that way.

eunomians Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Sorry to hear the crappy news. Just ask the maid what time it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M5kirk Posted April 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Yeah... I normally don't travel with that many but I was in Vegas for 9 days of business/pleasure and figured I'd use 'em. I just console myself with the thought of whoever has them taking them somewhere to sell/pawn them thinking they're going to get thousands of $$$ and being sorely disappointed. Maybe after trying to sell a few and discovering they're fake they won't even make it to trying to sell the gen Omega. Cheers! Kirk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dadog13 Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Oh man!...this really sucks...I am going right now home to check if my watchbox is safe home!...you've lost some great pieces... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystalcranium Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Bummer. I used to travel with all of my prizes too but I discovered a tool watch and a dress watch were usually all I needed. LV might be a different story though. Every situation might need the ideal watch! Someone must have thought they hit the mother lode. As much as it hurts, it's probably a good advertisement for traveling with reps instead of expensive gens. Theft is theft. I'm not sure your insurance company needs to know your role in it in detail. Just tell them the Omega was stolen out of your hotel room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
who Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Sorry to hear what happen to you.... it was really a shame for someone (people from the Wynn hotel, may be?) who took those watches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
