Answer

Can stolen watches in Mallorca be resold easily?

Stolen watches can be difficult to trace because they are small, valuable, and sometimes sold through informal or opaque channels. That is one reason investigators focus not only on the theft itself but also on the wider resale chain. Stronger checks at second-hand shops and pawn outlets can make resale harder.
