Two men have been jailed after snatching a $920k 'Erotic Watch' from a man's wrist as he left a department store in London.

Mehdi Didda, 35, tore the RM 69 Erotic Tourbillon from Ngoc Cao's wrist as he left Selfridges with his wife, The Sun reported.

Didda of Wandsworth, London, was part of a gang that targeted wealthy people in high-end stores, according to Lad Bible.

They would then sell what they had stolen at lock-ups and market stalls to buy themselves designer clothes, the New York Post added.

Cao, who lives in Vietnam but often visits London to shop with his wife, Mia, testified at the trial of Mehdi Didda and his accomplice, 36-year-old Mohamed Safri, the Wandsworth Times added.

He said: "We had been shopping at Selfridges before 7pm. We didn't stay long and went to the tax-free lounge. We then went onto Oxford Street and felt someone grabbing at my wrist.

"The man who tried to steal from me ran across the road. He had taken my watch and scratched my wrist."

The watch was number 19 of just 30 watches made by luxury watchmaker Richard Mille and spelled out sexual messages, which can be changed by manually rotating three bars, Lad Bible reported. Cao said it cost him the equivalent of $929,000

Rapper Drake has previously shown off the limited edition watch on his Instagram with the caption: "Even the watch is poetic."

The luxury Swiss watchmaker calls the piece "a clear affirmation of the creative longing to reveal our most secret intentions in all their glory."

According to D'Marge, the top bar features the phrases: "I want to," "I need to," "I long to," "I lust to," "I'd love to," and "Let me."

The middle bar connects the statement with the verbs: "explore," "taste," "kiss," "arouse," "devour," and "caress."

And the bottom bar completes the message with: "you tonight, "your lips," "your body," "you madly," and more.

Didda was convicted of conspiracy to rob, handle stolen goods, possessing criminal property, and be sentenced to nine years in prison.

Safri was convicted of conspiracy to rob and received eight years while Sofiane Didda was cleared of all charges, The Sun reported.

Originally from Algeria, they could both face deportation after serving their sentences, according to the New York Post.
