"At the end of the fight I ended up with the gun, and they ran away."He'd just sat down with clients at the celebrity restaurant Il Pastaio after showing them watches at his showroom (on 4 March).He's offering a $50,000 reward for the return of the watch. Beverly Hills police believe he was deliberately targeted for the timepiece.Pic courtesy Shay Belhassen shows the stolen watch
