A pair of men were seen sitting on the other side of a table from the victim, when one man grabs the dealer and pushes him, while the other grabbed watches and ran off.
In a statement, the Met Police said: ‘The incident happened around 14:50hrs on Saturday, 25 May in Kew Road.
‘Two men, who were not armed, entered the shop and assaulted a member of staff before stealing a quantity of high value watches’
Mr White’s grieving girlfriend Ms Dredge wrote: ‘My life will never be the same again I can’t explain how much I love you. I will never stop loving you – I’m so numb I can’t cry anymore.
‘I have never felt pain like this, you were the only person that could give me comfort like no other and make all my pain go away.
‘Now you’re not here I don’t know what I’m going to do. I love you Oliver more than I can put into words.’
