Correct I'm sorry to say.
Our former owner Mr Jordan will attest to that my friend.

I'm glad that I no longer have any need to visit London, not that I own a Rolex mind.
I used to enjoy being in our capital, whether on business or socially, but by all accounts it sounds like an unpleasant place these days.

It's just not worth your life to fight back. Give them your phone or your watch and walk away.

My Father-in-Law bought a Rolex in Times Square for $10. What a bargain! He thought it was a right laugh - it worked for about 10 years too. He'd have probably still clumped anyone trying to take it off him.
I have a phone strap my lady friend said but they will break you left wrist. So my right hand will probably be broken as well when I smash it into the little sods face.
You are correct the sensible thing is to just let it go. However I worked hard for my stuff (I own an Omega watch) my guess is that the red mist would descend just like that female interviewer the other day who wouldn't let go.
Danerous to clump someone as you might break your wristwatch.

He was right handed and it would've only taken one punch. Or in good Scottish tradition he'd have stuck the heid on the robber(s).

Is there a news story to this?
Recycled mythology,not eveyone who wears a rolex in london is murdered,just another anti Mayor Khan anti muslim rant.The O.P. just needs to vent some outrageous story usually on a daily basis,therapy that Holmesdale net provides.It takes all sorts.

If you listen to Eminem, perhaps. And maybe eat a KFC 😉

I saw and posted it then. I would have thought a link to the story would help add context.

No help there. I listen to Van Morrison and eat fish & chips.

Here is Khan's reassuring response to crime:
London v Manchester: Which city has the highest crime rate?
Manchester worse for total crime rate, violence, stalking and sexual offences
www.standard.co.uk
"London's not the worst in the country"! yet. It's only the worst for certain types of crime. I have faith that Khan can do it though. He's on the right track.

There is no opposite to street as far as I'm aware.
