- Last year a well known and highly respected Watch Dealer, Collector and Enthusiast Mike Wood was robbed of his Audemars Piguet Royal Oak on a London Street. Earlier this week two men were jailed for their part in the Robbery. We look at the actual robbery and the events that led up to it, including the Selfridges CCTV footage that eventually lead to the arrest and conviction of two men. The watch concerned was a Pink Gold Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, model ref 15300 serial number G37699. With thanks to Mike Wood at the Old Watch Shop for his assistance in the making of this video.

You shouldn’t wear a G-Shock because of robbers, you should wear your AP, and a 9mm handgun to take care of them
Yeh, because that's doable in the UK where you get 5 years for having a handgun and a year per bullet.
Guessing your not in UK then
If we wonder why Paul wears a G-Shock when he’s in London, this video explains it.
He wears one all then time he has said, not just when in London.
They'd probably take that too.
Police refer property crime through victims insurance. They have no interest in this. Adding to coffers through a speeding ticket is much different.
Whats the point of owning a nice watch if it cant be worn anymore? Makes me reconsider purchasing.
It’s fucken ridiculous isn’t it. This is what happens when you elect SJW lefty wankers who care more about offending people then protecting people
The days of worry free watch wearing in UK and the EU are sadly over.
@@sypen1 you make it sound like robbery didn't exist before immigration lmao...
If you reconsider then you are giving in to the "new normal" that does not have to be. You and we all deserve better.
Owning an expensive watch is just a big ego trip. Spend money on helping homeless people makes more sense to me
I expect their lawyers are getting the asylum claims ready right now. How wonderful to be in multi-cultural Britain.
Hi Paul,
I've lost 2 AP last month through a burglary. one of the 2 was given by my father before he passed away last year. They are both offshores in 42mm. So if anyone seen or been offered please kindly let me know. The serial is
170977(offshore "navy") and G40570 (rubber clad
bezel)
Thanks very much
This is what happens when you have open boarders, you let all the criminals in. 2 years jail is nothing to these scum for this risk
But Brexit?
@@GearZenChannel what brexit....all same and no control still at boarders. its ok for people coming in lawfully not illegally with no record s and can carry out criminal activities
@@John-oz1do So it was much ado about nothing?
@@GearZenChannel half of Brazil is in England working for Deliveroo. They come in with European passports, such as Italian & Spanish & Portuguese, you just pay someone at these embarks & is that easy to get a passport
Why cant the courts impose a default sentence of say 10 years which can only be reduced to the regular sentence if they give up the whereabouts of the watch?
They are letting to many criminals into the country... not enough prison capacity to put them all away for 10 years...
That would be unjust
@@carltonneckbrace4039 What is unjust is that they will be released back into society and they will surely start stealing again. Not very just for the victims there either. A thief with no hands is guaranteed not to steal again. In fact it will deter another 50 of his mates from attempting it in the first place. Or at least save the trouble and put down these animals. The justice system is a little b***h and doesn't help in it's current state.
@@stefanlazaralexandru @carlton Neckbone. Did you really just state that would be "unjust". These criminals are clearly friends of yours. Because no same member of society sticks up for the criminal over the victim. I truly hope your loved ones never get attacked and someone gives them a slap on the wrist. Because hey: "that would be unjust".
Bc economically, it would put a financial strain on a country... think about it, when someone goes to prison, they’re technically being given free meals & housing... now obviously, prison isn’t an ideal place one would want to call home; but Nation take on significant financial burden, further wasting resources that could be put elsewhere, and risks their prisons of becoming overpopulated
Thankyou Paul for giving is a glimpse of how this can happen to any watch enthusiast.. Cheers from Canada
🤝
Great breakdown!
The cops seem to see the CCTV cameras as a deterent. But when they don't USE the footage, it doesn't deter squat. The crooks know this.
Great job from the store security staff! So glad they got caught.
If you happen to stray into a bus lane the CCTV works fine and you receive a nice clear picture along with a penalty notice demanding £65.00
Like in the movies....Good on Selfridges! I'm sure if someone in the force was robbed would be a different story. Thank you for the share PT!
This makes my blood boil! They should give these robbers a long life sentence!
A bit excessive, but I feel you man
no they shouldnt
Not in the uk they won't particularly England
The should get their biometrics and then deport them
Or sink the boats in the channel
Jesus Christ! I am hooked on these watch crime videos, Paul!
Keep them coming!
Same out here in Amsterdam you have to be very careful wearing luxury watches
I appreciate you sharing this.
Amazing cooperation from Selfridges
that is alarming. thanks for crafting together that video. it does show the professionalism the thugs have, if four (4) attackers hit the target like hyenas , vary difficult to defend. sorry mike. ~ JDS/CT
Sad sad times, obviously I’m glad Mike is safe, thanks Paul.
Hats off to Selfridge s security.. well done for helping
If you walked around London or any major city at night with $30,000.00 taped to your forehead you would almost surely be robbed. A gold AP on your wrist is fairly equivalent.
Thank you Paul, standing tall.
Thanks Paul for this. Keep the issue alive of the Data Base of serial numbers and ownership. That would be the best insurance that all se need. Thumbs up.
I remember when car jacking was prevalent. Then they put a 25 year to life sentence on it depending on the circumstances and it stopped it overnight. Feel sorry for the guy. Can’t even enjoy your watch outside your home.
Thank you for the informative video. Food for thought these days.
Good video mate I love watching them 👍
I totally agree with your thoughts.
Good work sir.
Very good video to understand how gangs work!! Pleased Mike wasn’t hurt and got some sort of justice. Be good to get his watch back.....
Hi Paul, hope you’re well. Selfridges obviously take
theft extremely seriously even though it wasn’t on their premises.Hats off to them. Shame about your friends watch. Government to blame massively due to all the cuts they’ve made. Not good.
I do appreciate the video. I have learned a deal.
No matter how serious your videos are at least the intro music is happy and the outro is good as well.
I'm shocked you go this cctv footage.
The Border Farce.
Yes shame Mike was robbed in that fashion Frightening but the Video shows how street conscious you need to be. I wondered what would have happened if he went into New Bond Street underground station would they have followed him all the way home.
Excellent video, top man , many thanks for all your hard work.👍
This is what we are up against these days !! ☹️
I like this guy, Paul you just got yourself another sub.
Crazy that you’ve got to run anti surveillance drills whilst walking around London wearing a nice watch.
Not everyone has to at all. its just this guy Mike is a known face and was at auction etc and is known in this world and likely to have a nice piece etc. These lads that robbed him are professional grafters as it were.... they do this for a living.
So if your just Joe public and have a nice watch as long as its not on sight too much you are fine
Great breakdown video bud .now 2 yrs later it's happening in broad daylight- it really is getting worse an like u said - few months in jail an there be out on streets again// this is a real problem in todays society! Av to tell work depo bout this channel 👍
Yeah Mate, I am sorry you don't approve of firearms. I live in U.S.. THINGS ARE BAD! My suggestion is..."DO NOT TREAD ON ME!" Those Blokes would be dealt with. I get it though. If you can't afford to be secure then don't wear a badge that says "victim!" I can't help appreciate your awesome Vids as I know what you have been through!!! Subscribed for a while Paul.
Very interesting to see the modern day artful dodgers..its a perennial problem..thanks to Selfridge and your goodself for sharing..👍..
Good video
The way they hang back so far, so they don't attract his attention, and still manage to constantly track him like that is really sneaky.
Chop their hands off.
What’s the point in buying expensive watches in the first place. Just so you can wear them in the home
But it’s ok to buy a Ferrari and have it live in a garage 🙄
You think wearing them at home is safe? Have you not seen footage on social media with them breaking in into homes to get them? Obviously when you buy a luxury watch, these crooks know you have them. You leave a trail, bank statements/ card purchases, receipts etc sold on. These people are scum..
Richard Man I wear a regular stainless steel omega or Tudor nothing flash. Could I define them as luxury enough? I do wear them on a regular basis otherwise I may as well sell them
@@c3ktlc3ktl85 not high end enough, they are targeting watches with big resale value.
marko645 thought so, but still the thought of them being robbed off me makes me 😡
These types of things can easily be fixed, if you get caught stealing you get your hand caught off. If they are illegal you can stop it even easier by deporting the entire family. That shit will stop really quick, if you live in the UK as I can see on your vid situational awareness is of the most importance and citizens should be trained in this manner. If you go out at night do not go out alone carry maze or any "weapon" available to you. No one should be a victim but work on not being an easy one. IMHO
Well said!
So sad
@Fred G Sanford. Good for your friend.
While they are in prison they will learn and make contacts to improve their skills.
Your right probably some do gooder will stop them being deported and the council will give them a flat in Kensington, the law and this country is pathetic ..cant even wear a decent watch anymore paid with hard earnt money !
Your doing all the work for the POLICE FCS!
This is so disgusting. These scumbags should be deported and have a lifetime ban.
Conceal and Carry would probably help deter this. Knowing that they are going up against a defenseless individual the predators will attack! Maybe you should start pushing a worldwide stolen watch registry as a standard that everyone would use. Cheers Paul..
for people who don't know London, it's literally unbelieveable that it happened in oxford st..
Oxford st is like the timesquare density equivalent of london
All very depressing. Hope Mike is ok
Did they ever get the bastards that got you and your nephew with your AP?
Nope, sadly not. Even though I know who was behind it, the Police won't investigate.
@@PaulThorpeOfficial That's absurd. It definitely is something I will think about before traveling to the UK anytime soon. I hope you're doing well after though it's not something anyone would forget.
@@PaulThorpeOfficial I's soo ever sorry. You are an upright, good guy the kind I'd like my wife and me would like to sit with and have tea or coffee whatever. Do be careful you are a good person, and so valuable to the watch business in the UK!!
@@j81851 Thanks John, I really appreciate those kind words. Take care.
Paul Thorpe Watch Dealer let em feel it brother ,
Surprised they weren’t Romanian, spot on regarding deportation after their sentences finish no doubt a “specialist immigration law firm” will receive legal aid from tax payers to defend their right to remain in the UK.
I really have to wonder how anybody can dislike your video? They don't like the Truth?
Well done selfridges. Gone up massively in my estimations.
Mike Wood is the Rolex God. His photos of his Asprey watch box made for the Sultan of Brunei filled with his Mil Subs, Red Subs and Comex’s is amazing.
I wonder where they spotted his watch? He's not wearing a t-shirt, he's well covered as well. The watch is not the most flashiest or blingy at all. If you've got a long sleeve top or jacket you would have thought your watch is well covered and out of sight!! He was definitely targeted from somewhere or maybe even set up!!
While I am not entertained by the misfortune of others, I enjoy these sort of videos the most. It gives a realistic perspective of owning luxury items in a modern world, especially for the average person.
Sorry,spoke to soon,I should have waited 2 seconds,thought you were gonna plead for them to stay,nice one.
6 days in the country and ends up with a 3 year stay 🤣
This is soo sad, hard earned money gone. Police should do more
Thanks for this very reassuring video. I think it shows yet again just how well our country is being governed.
Why should our great police force spend their valuable time looking after the security of very rich people who enjoy the thrill of exposing themselves to danger by wandering around in dodgy areas with many thousands of dollars openly displayed on their wrist. These people probably enjoy bungee jumping, or sky diving, or any number of high risk activities that collectively define them as 'adrenaline junkies'. Not that there's anything wrong with all that of course.
We see here a perfect example of how the cost of protecting such people has very effectively been transferred from the vast majority of the Casio wearing public to the highly efficient security of Selfriges, where the cost is rightly born by the people who ultimately benefit from it - i.e. their customers.
Pathetic Troll
Very sad video to see but equally as important for people to know. It's a sad state of affairs because prosecution or not, the watch remains undiscovered and clearly there is a lack of policing methods, so even if there are cases linked to these disgusting people, we aren't going to know.
Further to this we can expect an array of people, mainly from the left but also including fat-cat solicitors who will fight for their deportation to be void due to human rights etc. I'm very sorry for your friend and will share this video to those who should unfortunately be more alert when rightfully wearing their items freely on our country's streets.
there are food banks 15 mins away from selfidges.................................
Off to Hatton garden
Precisely why I wear a nice Pulsar, Seiko or Casio!
Shame the police didn't put so much effort into tracking the criminals and had to rely on the security staff at the shop to do all the investigative work for them! 🤔😯👍😎
So glad you got 2 of them , I'll look forward to them coming out of prison and getting deported , it's so important that we get these criminals out of our country. We must make sure that they are deported
So what are the police for in England? And why couldn't the police get the robbers to tell them who and where they took/sold the watch to. Then the police could maybe get the ring leader and slow down or stop the thief's?
The same thing is happening in NYC with regularity. I leave the good watches at home and wear a Seiko or a Casio when I am in any big city or on vacation. Sad that it has come to this. It's just a matter of time before some poor victim is killed over their watch.
Why even wear a watch? Your phone has the time, and alarms etc. Watches are redundant imho.
They’ll only do a year.
Did he have it insured at least ?
Companies should put small tracking devices in watches. Idk why it hasn’t been done
Unfortunately, if you choose to wear a valuable watch, it seems like you have to stop and perform a “crazy Ivan” once and a while to see who is following you. Sign of the times. Looks like a modded SKX is about the best you can wear out these days.
What scumbags makes me feel sick
Ways to reduce this sort of stuff (for the government):
Stop passing laws protecting these wankers.
Better self defence laws, seriously wtf is "reasonable force".
Spend more on police and clean up Croydon.
watch straps with built in gps trackers, can get them for cats and dog collars!
Poor guy I keep eye on people if I saw someone for two long near me I’d move away out of area or call cops.
H&K P30SK is a cure.
This is a travesty paul.
3 years in jail , Its a long time 👌
The scary thing is, with more illegal immigrants coming daily, things are going to get worse, alot worse. Freind of mine was followed and robbed for his Rolex by a Romanian, only got 3 months prison sentence, watch never found.
This is why u never wear anything expensive in a city that’s know for stealing
At least they did not hurt Mike, It was good to see the criminals had some morals .I am not condoning their actions but it could be alot worse. Still a very bad situation.
They’d have hurt him if the watch had not come off his wrist so easily
Wearing an expensive watch clearly makes you a target. Be prepared.
Sorry for Mike. Glad he wasn’t hurt. Sad to say but I’ve lost faith in police especially in Kent / London. They are too focused on traffic stops and speeding tickets to get involved or be proactive and worse still, the law isn’t designed to protect victims such as Mike should they fight back / defend themselves with equal force.
Kind of stupid to have something so expensive on your person and gaudy as fuck. just buy a Casio does same job n no ones trying to chop yer arm off for it.
The police will not go into a shop-for example-and seize all the CCTV footage. What they will do is go to the security control room to see if there is any relevant footage of an incident they’re investigating? Let’s say there’s 7 cameras that have picked up what they are looking for. The relevant parts of these 7 cameras will be burnt to a blank DVD. The relevant forms filled in and then put into e sealed evidence bag for the police to sign for. A copy of the DVD will be made for the store too. Sorry to hear about Mike’s case. Sadly it’s not an isolated thing anymore.
Sadly the Police's go to excuse these days is that 'CCTV wasn't working'.
I wear a seiko around London, nothing else
Yep. I even wore a Seiko to Norwich today, and I was going to the Rolex dealers! All these videos from Paul are making me nervous!
What a Grand seiko
Does AP have a lost and stolen registry?
Yes they do.
Stick with my Casio Mudmaster Black
hi paul, why do you sound doubtful they would be deported - just curious.
also, why would it have made a difference if the police had retrieved the evidence? the video is there and clear to see - so why aren't all 4 of them locked up? am i missing something?
thanks for sharing this - a depressing reality of london life. sadly this city has become a total shithole and is full of these scum, even in so-called safe/rich areas. ironically i feel safer in east london than i do in central london.
Stats tell us that actually very few criminals are deported upon leaving jail. We have enough of our own to deal with. We can do without these as well.
@@PaulThorpeOfficial interesting. maybe it's too costly and too much paperwork to get them deported? i actually did jury duty some years ago, and the judge said in his sentencing that the guy would be deported to africa. his crime was less than a watch robbery.
Hard to deport someone if they claim their life is at risk if they are sent home. Human rights and all that. Not sure how that applies to Albania, but easy to claim persecution.
Seems like the criminals in the U.K with a foreign background are privileged, all they have to scream is "racism"
6:27 two similar dressed and hurried individuals play catch up - look at the far right of the screen (2’oclock). part of the same crew?
Get a bodyguard . You can afford an AP
In Sweden we also have an epidemic of watch robberies, mainly in the Stockholm and Malmoe area,perpetrated by the same category of criminals as in your country.
Same story, short sentences (if any) very seldom deportations.
Same advice: never wear expensive jewelry or watches especially in the evening or at night.
Tnx for your important and valuable videos.
why is this happening so much in london? what can they even do with these watches? serials are makred as stolen they cant really cash it. really really odd,, these punks need to be tought a lession in life, these acts will only continue if nothing is done about it.
they have fences who will buy their stock, usually for a fraction of the value. or they can just sell it themselves on ebay or chrono24 and up it vanishes in the nether until some poor sap decides to service their stolen watch.
I have a video coming soon on this exact subject.
@@PaulThorpeOfficial looking forward to that Paul. Really enjoying your videos, sir
vinceslapchopper this happened to me lol
Because there is no one to stop them doing it and a huge amount of rich people to rob. People from poorer countries can also easily visit the UK becasue the border force are just as pathetic as the police and politicians.
We really shouldn’t have to not wear our watches in public. Mines well insured, they can have it. I’m not just going to wear it in the comfort of my own home
Algerians, what a surprise!
