Two men have been jailed for robbing a man of a £130,000 watch as he sat on a bench outside a church.
The visitor to Oxford was the victim of a "calculated and organised" attack in broad daylight in May 2022, police previously said.
Four men followed him to St Aldates Church before two knocked him down and snatched the Richard Mille watch from his wrist, detectives added.
Walid Sadaoui, 29, of Hackney, London, was jailed for five years at Oxford Crown Court. Reit Nicholas, 34, received a 10-year sentence at Southwark Crown Court.

The man, aged in his 30s, was not badly hurt.
Detectives released CCTV images of four men running near the scene.
Sadaoui was found guilty of robbery in September after a trial and was jailed on Thursday.
Nicholas, who was sentenced on 14 October, previously pleaded guilty to two counts of robbery and one of theft.
