Yes. The more I think about your story Sally, the more strange it begins to seem.

What you have told us so far is that your jeweller lost your watch in some way and has been delaying addressing the problem for five months. Are you confident there is not more to this than first appears?

Was your watch stolen as part of a break-in to the shop, or was it just yours? Jewellers shops round here tend to be very secure indeed, so thefts are pretty unusual.

If there really is an insurer involved, why has the jeweller delayed for five months while he tries to find a substitute? Was that at your request, or his choice?

I may be slightly over suspicious, but from the little info you have given the story does not seem to add up particularly well!
