Customer reviews for Introduction to Watch Stealing
You will need a "helping hand" to practice before taking it into your repertoire but once you master it, surprise is guaranteed
TLDR: A good introduction to practice with friends but with certain caveats.
Yes - having now read the written info it does only mention leather and rubber straps.
If you are new to a watch steal you might learn something - but there is no real world footage - which I'd suggest would be ideal to learn from. If it's in the promo - why not show it in the tutorial?
I think this could form the basis of a good larger body or work on the watch steal in the future from Anthony.
We can look forward to that :)
