From time to time, I heard the parang-chopping-hand-wearing-rolex myth, is it scheme to make rolex owner keep their rollies in the safe deposit box ? It is not easy to chop a hand off and take the watch. Not to mention the mess it created. Your hand is not dead wood, dry and fragile. If u r in ur senior years, probably more fragile. also, u won't hold still for him to chop ur hand, right? Back to the question, y not I hold the parang to ur neck and relieve u of ur watch. No blood, no mess, no yelling. And of course, the robber has no personal vendetta against u
