Gun-toting NYC trio steals $3OK Cartier Santos watch off man’s wrist
A gun-toting trio robbed a man of his $30,000 Cartier Santos watch in Manhattan over the weekend — after foiling the victim’s attempt to save his pricey timepiece and flee in a taxi, cops said.
The 46-year-old victim was walking on West 37th Street near Dyer Avenue in Hudson Yards around 5:15 p.m. Saturday when three suspects stormed up to him and demanded the pricey watch, authorities said.

The quick-thinking watch-wearer tried to get away by hopping into a taxi – but his undeterred pursuers chased after the cab, police said.
Once they caught up, they flashed a gun and snatched the watch from the victim, cops said.
The high-end thieves had not been caught by Tuesday, police said.
Two of them were wearing face masks, one pulled down, according to surveillance footage. One is shown wearing a distinctive oversized black hoodie emblazoned with “SAINT” in all caps on it and another donning a gray skull cap with the words, “PLEASURES SERVICE.”
Anyone with information on their whereabouts is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
