Police have launched an appeal after a Rolex watch worth £10,000 was stolen in a knife-point robbery at a workplace in Nottingham. Two staff members were forced to remove their watches after two masked men entered a premises off Hucknall Road, near Gala Way, between Bulwell and Bestwood.
A third man is believed to have remained outside whilst the victims handed over the items on December 20 last year. One was a Rolex Datejust 2017 that was purchased for £10,000 and the other was a RADO valued at £2,000.
The victims were also asked to hand over their wallets and phones before the suspects fled the scene. One of the suspects is described as a black male, 5ft 8ins tall, stocky build and in his 20s.

The second suspect is 5ft 8ins, of a slim build, wearing a face mask, grey puffer jacket, black joggers and black gloves and trainers. Due to the mask he was wearing, skin colour and age could not be obtained.
The third man waiting outside is wearing a navy jacket, black cap and a green or khaki coloured face mask and gloves. Detective Constable Mitchell Thomas, who is investigating the incident, said: “This was an horrific and appalling incident where two men were intimidated and robbed in their place of work.
"Since this incident occurred in December, we have worked extremely hard to locate the suspects and we will continue to do so until all three are brought to justice. We have carried out numerous lines of inquiry including a CCTV trawl, forensics, financial checks, and investigations around tracing the two stolen watches.
“We are now appealing for anyone with information to help us with our inquiry or can identify the people on the CCTV images released. This includes anyone who has any information about what happened that day or anyone who has been sold these two watches."
