Sometimes a watch isn't worth stealing. I doubt that he was wearing a Rolex, or Breitling. When I have to travel internationally I leave my watch at home, and buy a POS digital Casio watch for $10 at Walmart for the trip.

Walking around with this

in a third world craphole is asking for trouble.

I have never worn a watch in my entire life, not a single day ... Heck, with smart phones today who wears a watch anyway?

"No, no, no. This is a Rochefoucauld, the thinnest water-resistant watch in the world. Singularly unique, sculptured in design, hand-crafted in Switzerland and water-resistant to three atmospheres. This is the sports watch of the 80's. $6955 retail. It tells time simultaneously in Monte Carlo, Beverly Hills, London, Paris, Rome, and Gstaad."

"In Philadelphia, it's worth 50 bucks."

You can actually get some pretty decent looking watches at the airport for ten bucks.

I think Lochte and friends were indeed wearing nice watches...and I’d bet their cab driver texted the robbers, to let them know that.

Breitling, very impressive. But what on earth does that watch tell you that you need to know?
