My experience with ADs were all negative. And, once I was also told "it's too expensive for you". When it comes to ADs there is a lot of profiling that happens. So I mostly collect independent watches, or deal with online boutique.
I think stories like this should keep it real. The headline should read "Rolex crime" or "Rolex theft", you can wear any watch but Rolex & RM and no one is going to bother you.
