Jonathan Cheban was seen leaving upscale Italian restaurant Cecconi’s in West Hollywood this weekend without a watch on.
That may be because one of his favorite watches, a $250,000 model, was stolen at gunpoint in New Jersey earlier this month.
This comes days after the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star has said it rattled him so much to be shaken down by thugs that he is more than happy to spend some time away from the East Coast.

Cheban seems to be pulling a Kim Kardashian. She stopped wearing her fancy bling after she too was robbed at gunpoint. Her incident occurred in Paris in 2016.
The FoodGod had on a white print shirt that said Learn How To Play Guitar Club with white slacks as he left the establishment.
And oddly the Celebrity Big Brother standout was not wearing Yeezy by Kanye West – that is the husband of his best friend Kim Kardashian – but rather a pair of Nikes.
The shoes are Jordan 4 and cost about $1200. Cheban must have splurged on the shoes after making a nice pay day for his new FoodGod ketchup truffle oil deal.

Kim, 39, plugged the ketchup earlier last week on social media.
Jonathan’s robbery happened in the quiet, upscale suburban neighborhood of Englewood Cliffs in New Jersey while the star was with a friend and mother, Galina.
‘It was frightening, I want the guys caught,’ Cheban told DailyMail.com exclusively.
‘The mugger had a gun pointed at my mother’s head. There were two gunmen. It happened at 8:30 pm just as the sun was going down.’

Cheban also told DailyMail.com this week that though he talked to police who had sketches of the criminals made up, the attackers have not been caught yet.
Kim was robbed at gunpoint inside her Paris hotel, The Hotel Pourtalès, during fashion week in 2016.
The men eventually tied Kim up and locked her in a bathroom as they stole her jewelry worth over $10M.
After the robbery she was not seen with her enormous diamonds on for years as she scaled back on flashing her wealth. The star also got more involved with charity and started studying law.
Last week Jonathan said he does not want to be in New York City these days, even though the incident happened in New Jersey.

‘I can’t be there. It’s very traumatic to be there,’ the 46-year-old told Page Six on Monday. ‘I want to sell my apartment in New York for sure because I can’t imagine living there again.’
While he was robbed in New Jersey, Cheban slammed Mayor Bill de Blasio for his lack of action over a recent spike in armed robberies, among Manhattan’s Upper East Side.
‘Daytime, nighttime, afternoon, Midtown, Uptown, Downtown, the mayor has destroyed the city,’ he told the outlet. ‘It’s depressing. It’s scary. I was on edge before, but now I’m even more on edge, obviously.’
He added: ‘I’m just confused as to how they’re allowing this to happen. I just cannot believe [New Yorkers] would vote for this idiot two times.’
