Richard Mille (misspelled twice in the article, of course) watches are hideous anyway, so no great loss, imho. Of course, mugging and robbery are frightening and shouldn't happen. But if you're going to buy one of these conspicuous timepieces, perhaps best save it for special occasions and secure surroundings, as you would a diamond necklace.
RIchard Mille.... not Millie
Johnny CThe kind of idiot who has it insured. Unfortunately their cavalier attitude (despite higher future premiums for them) pushes up the cost of insurance for everyone, so we are paying for it, and the police time for a thorough investigation. Be assured, if you Casio was stolen the police would just shrug, and say "tough".
Johnny CTotally agree your comment. Display wealth, attract criminals , and thieves.
Johnny CWhat kind idiot BUYS a watch worth the same as a house?!??
I'm in no way condoning robbery but what kind of idiot walks around town with £245,000 strapped to their wrist?
