Stolen watch registry

Please use the Alpha Hands stolen watch registry submission form if you would like to have any watch(es) added. Please note there is little chance of recovery without a police report! So if you haven’t submitted a police report yet, please do so before reporting the watch to the Alpha Hands stolen watch registry.

The Alpha Hands stolen watch registry is the largest free registry in the world, and is used and contributed to by:
– Collectors and enthusiasts
– Insurance agencies
– Retailers/dealers
– Auction houses
– Manufacturers
– Police departments
– Pawnbrokers
– Service providers
– Watch associations/foundations

The registry doesn’t just include stolen Rolex – this database includes a wide variety of manufacturers, including Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Breguet, TAG Heuer, Vacheron Constantin and others. But in addition to searching the Alpha Hands registry, always perform a broader search (aka Google) for the serial number of the watch you are purchasing (or even a fraction of the serial number). There are also manufacturers with databases of stolen watches, including Rolex.

Alpha Hands does not take a position as to the proprietary rights of the watches recorded in the registry, rather we are just aggregating watches that have been reported as stolen on or to a variety of sources: watch forums, instagram, Facebook, auction houses, police departments, manufacturers and directly to Alpha Hands. As such, there may be disputes over ownership. If you are interested in the original source of a piece reported stolen, please contact us for details. Prospective buyers should always do their own due diligence regarding watches that have been reported as stolen, as well as watches they are purchasing. In addition to the below, I also maintain a list of manufacturers’ stolen watch databases. That list details whether collectors can reach out to manufactures in advance of a purchase to confirm that the watch is not registered by the manufacturer as stolen.

Alpha Hands does not assist with recovery of stolen timepieces. We recommend that you work with a company that has experience in navigating the legal process to recover your watch. We do not recommend that you contact the seller/reseller of your stolen watch directly, but rather engage a third party in recovering the watch. We recommend Chris Marinello at Art Recovery International – Chris regularly works not just on stolen art cases, but stolen watches as well.

As with the rest of this Website, the following table, and data contained therein, is subject to Alpha Hands LLC Terms and Conditions.

The above table, and data contained therein, is subject to Alpha Hands LLC Terms and Conditions. I have added a number of “dummy” watches to the Registry, so if the Alpha Hands Stolen Watch Registry is imported into another company’s database, I will be able to search and verify its use without consent.

A few comments and caveats on the above:
– Pieces in the registry are watches that are reported stolen. However, there may or may not be a filed police report. For reasons I will never fully understand, victims often do not file police reports. If your watch is stolen, to have any hope for recovery, please submit a police report!
– I do my best to ensure that serial numbers are correct, but I do not have knowledge of the serial number format for all manufactures. As such, it is very likely that there are cases where reference numbers are listed serial numbers, or vice versa. If you see any references that are indicated as serials, please let me know.
– Given the manual nature of this data, errors or omission in data undoubtedly will occur during transcription.
– On occasion a watch is reported without a manufacturer name, but the police report appears to include the serial. In these cases I still include it in the database, in the hope that the serial number format is recognized later and I can appropriately add the manfacturer, or a watch with that serial is found.

If you find any watches in the following table, please let me know. I retain contact information for all registered timepieces.
