Watch-Snatch in NYC / Rolex 5513, Explorer Dial

The following was posted on Vintage Rolex Forum, on October 22. Of course, this is not an ordinary 5513, but it has the "Explorer Dial", numerals at 3, 6 and 9.

    This watch was ripped off the wrist of a collector last night in NYC's Meatpacking District.

    There is a reward for its safe return.

    Please email me if you are offered this watch.

    Thanks,
    Eric

So keep your eyes open for this watch, and keep your sleeves rolled down in any situation that might be unsafe.
