Police said Superman Rostas posed as a genuine customer and used distraction techniques to steal the watch from Andrew Michaels Jewellers in Newark.
It happened on 19 June but Nottinghamshire Police has now obtained CCTV footage of Mr Rostas. The force has released a CCTV still in the hope it will help them trace him.
The 25-year-old is a Romanian national and has connections to Birmingham and the West Midlands. The stolen watch was made by Chopard, a Swiss luxury brand. PC Marc Taylor said: "We are appealing for anyone who has seen him or has any information on his whereabouts to get in touch."

June 19? Man, that watch is gone. They'll never retrieve it now.
It takes the aptly nicknamed plod 5 weeks to get cctv footage out? Aren't British police wonderful!
21k for a watch? I hope it's been broken up for parts because that's bound to be one ugly watch otherwise.
