Accidental Loss

How easy is it to lose a Rolex ?

Rolex are synonymous with the manufacturer of very high-quality watches, including the straps that accompany them, you would expect a Rolex, once fastened to your arm to be safe and secure. Unfortunately, watches can fall off the wrist and if you are busy or otherwise occupied, it can be a while before you notice your valuable timepiece is missing.

Losing a watch, especially one that has perhaps being given as a gift to mark a special occasion, can be very distressing and whilst insurance can compensate by providing a replacement, making sure your watch is secure and the clasps are in good working order can help prevent any upset.

Insurers will also expect you to take care of your Rolex watch as you would with any valuable item you own and if you do need to submit a claim, they will require you to assist in it’s possible recovery by retracing steps and places you visited prior to the loss occurring

When travelling away from home you must be wearing the watch or it must be left in a safe (a normal hotel room safe is adequate) All watch losses must be reported to the police including reporting locally if you are abroad.

Theft

Unfortunately watches do get stolen, insurance will make sure you are covered if the worst happens.

Theft

Thieves are on the lookout for Rolex watches

A valuable watch such as a Rolex proudly displayed on your wrist is a beacon to thieves, they know the expensive brands and often will have a detailed knowledge of the model as well.

Many are quite adept at removing watches from your wrist, they’ll know how the clasps and straps work and often will operate in teams employing diversionary tactics to steal your item without you realising it.

Other thieves take a more brutal approach threatening violence against you personally or using it to break into your home or a gym locker where the watch has been left.

An Assetsure arranged policy will cover you against theft including when your Rolex watch has been left at home or in a gym locker or a safe whilst you are away from you home.

Watches over £10,000 left at home will also need to be kept in a safe. All thefts must be reported to the police.

Accidental Damage

Accidents happen, we ensure that your item can be repaired or replaced.

Accidental Damage

Accidental Damage can mean an expensive repair bill.

Wear and tear, scratching and cosmetic changes, which happen normally as an item age, we all must live with, and are not insurable by any policy we can arrange, but what about more serious damage, say you drop your Rolex watch or fell over and cracked the crystal or a fall damaged the mechanism of the watch.

These types of damages can mean expensive repair bills, some manufactures such as Rolex also insist on performing a full service when carrying out any repairs and that alone can mean hundreds of pounds in costs.

A policy arranged by Assetsure, covers accidental damage and as there is no excess to pay in the event of a claim, repairs will be paid for in full.
