Stealing watches off wrists

Maybe if it's loose and small a good pickpocket could pull it off, but with a SeMP where you have to squeeze the clasp buttons just to get it to release, added to the fact that I wear mine tight on my wrist, AND the fact that I'm 6'3" and 240 lbs., not a chance in hell.

It also occurs to me that the ultimate joke would be to buy one of these crappy fake Rolex or Omega watches, act like you're drunk, and let some jerkwad steal it off you. That would almost be worth 40 Euros to screw over a pickpocket, and leave him with an Italian jackalope Omega watch that doesn't even resemble anything TIMEX has ever put out....
