Pierrick Jamaux told DailyMail.com he is shocked by how dangerous the city has become and would never have visited had he known how much it had changed since he lived there 10 years ago.

The entrepreneur, who was visiting from Hong Kong with his Australian model wife, Sarah Watts, 26, was getting out of an Uber at the Fifty Hotel and Suites in Midtown when he was shot five times on March 18.

He didn't realize how dangerous New York was?

He should change his name to Alexander Dumass.

I don’t quite get the purpose of wearing a half million dollar wristwatch in a Democrat hellhole. If one wears such things to get attention - he got it!

Why would you wear a half a million dollar watch out in NYC?

He can wear whatever watch he wants, for sure.

But if he hadn’t worn a $450,000 watch, pretty sure this would not have occurred. To go to all the effort to target him just for this.

I’d also be worried about any personal staff he has, giving out info inside job smells here.

What’s the annual production volume of that watch?

Who keeps the spare parts?

Warranty work?

Yeah, I know we’re supposed to be upset about the crime and everything, but ...... a $450,000 watch?

When a pair of jeans start ripping, they are soon discarded.

Yeah, watches like that are only to be worn in places like Dubai or Singapore - where thieves still stand a better-than-even chance of being shot in the head by police before having their rights read to them. :)

Could he have spent a little less on a watch and a little more on a pair of pants?

I guess the thief also stole some of his clothes since he’s wearing his wife’s shirt and some old ripped pants.

Don’t forget to include the girlfriend in #5 as a suspect.
