FYI - Large theft in Oz of Sinn and other Germans!!

Post by mfxr » Fri Apr 24, 2015 4:35 am

There is a watch boutique here in Brisbane Australia that had $300k worth of stock (watches and jewellery) stolen in a smash and grab yesterday.

The name is Define watches http://www.definewatches.com.au
They carry many German brands like Sinn, Muhle Glashutte, and Meistersinger to name a few, so just be wary of any Australian based sales of German watches.
Not sure how likely it would be to see these put up for sale on watch forums, but though I would post it up just in case.

That sucks! I've met the guys from Define when they were down in Melbourne and they were good guys.... will definately keep my eyes peeled.

that really stinks.

Amazing that there still does not seem to be a way to stop smash-and-grabs.

Matt, thanks for the heads up. ..I'm glad at least no one got hurt.
Here's hoping they can track some of these watches down, or find
out who did this maybe.
