Rolex robbery in the steak house: How a coward attack shocked Cologne

Köln, Deutschland - In the Cologne district court, a spectacular robbery began on Tuesday that moves the city's minds. On October 25, 2022, there was an attack in a steak house in Ossendorf that was filming around a precious Rolex. David K., the 30-year-old owner, had planned to give his Platin-Rolex Daytona a new owner for an impressive 105,000 euros to finance a house purchase. The young man had probably not expected that this would end in a dramatic argument.

Gino N., the 28-year-old defendant and compatriot of David, agreed with him. After the watch was tried on, Gino went to the toilet and came back with a Walther PPK pistol. According to David K.'s description, the whole that evaluates the indictment as a robbery seems to be ended in a nightmare. He handed over the papers for the watch and was threatened with a weapon after a short moment of shock. Gino's behavior made the steak house an unexpected scene of violence.

What has also become clear in recent years: robbery overall increases. In 2022, according to Statista, over 38,000 robberies were registered in Germany, a number that shows that crime increases in certain areas. In North Rhine-Westphalia, the state in which Cologne is located, there were over 23,500 burglaries in the same year, and the educational rate also leaves something to be desired. It seems to be a serious problem that deals with the authorities.

After the incident had taken place, David K.s turned to Gino N.'s father to clarify the problem. But he laughed David and asked for a horrendous 25,000 euros for the return of the valuable clock. To find a solution, David ultimately had no choice but to contact the police. During a search by Gino N.'s apartment, the officials found the gun and ammunition - that speaks for the seriousness of the allegations.

Rolex Daytona - more than just one watch

The Rolex Daytona, a real status symbol, is not only considered one of the most precise watches in the world, but also as a collective object that increases in value. This specific model, which David K. had, is very popular not only because of its design and the renowned manufacturer, but also because of the specific caliber 4130, which is considered one of the most efficient clock works worldwide. The functionality and hermetic properties of the watch complete the picture and make it irresistible for watch lovers.

During the process continues to fill the court halls, it remains to be seen whether the defense of Gino N., who abits the allegations as a "robber gun". David K., on the other hand, is still firmly behind his statement that he was forced to deny that he saw a gun to reach the return of the watch.

How things will develop remains exciting. One thing is clear: a valuable timepiece, a steak house on the test bench and a defendant who fought against the allegations - in Cologne it is anything but calm.
