Another GQ article to save and read later. It's pretty entertaining.

Great read – only real inaccuracy is that I'd argue the amounts of each heist are markedly overvalued whenever Hublots were taken.

Just read the story, it's pretty interesting.

We'll put together caper story. Glad they caught the fuckers.

well a possible sad addendum to this story, my buddy had his Double Red Sea Dweller stolen during a F2F transaction in the greater San Diego area this past monday.

Seems like a less sophisticated version of the crew in the article.

Excellent read. I love baseball as much as watches. It was sad to see that guy waste all of his talent...
