The meteoric rise in Rolex prices on the grey market due to the company unable to meet production demands makes them a target for thieves as they are so recognizable.
Unfortunately, you are correct...

I think the Apple Watch is particularly good for seniors.a lady I play Mah Jongg with claims it saved her life. She has irregular heart rhythm and the watch can detect when she needs to go to the hospital. It also recognizes when you fall.
