The man in this surveillance-video photo daringly snatched an $88,000 Rolex watch from a Midtown shop, police said.
He allegedly entered the Tourneau branch at Madison Avenue and East 53rd Street at 1:40 p.m. last Saturday and asked to see the pricey timepiece.
But no sooner had a sales clerk handed it to him than the suspect tore out of the shop and hopped into a waiting SUV, possibly a silver Ford Explorer, cops said. Witnesses said he and the getaway driver fled south on Park Avenue.
Cops described the watch grabber as about 30 years old, 6 feet tall and 190 pounds with a pockmarked complexion.
