After the presentation I realized the watch wasn't in my coat and immediately started panicking and went back to where I parked my car...but no luck.

Sorry for the long explanation, since I bought this with my Platinum card can I claim it as lost? Even though the watch cost me closer to 16K, at least I can get something back?

Has anyone been in a similar situation with a high priced item like this with the AMEX Platinum card?? Someone please help
US Purchase Protection is $10K. 90 days of charge posting onto the account. I am assuming like jspira that it was not bought less than 90 days ago, since you said you "usually wear" the Rolex to work. Was it a solid gold Rolex?

You should immediately file a police report, to avoid accusations from AMEX or your homeowner's insurance that you did not promptly report it. Call your agent immediately as well.
