He then assaulted the sales assistant by punching him in the face and fled the store taking the watch with him.
Detectives would like to hear from anyone who can name the man shown in the CCTV stills which were captured inside the shopping centre before the offence was committed.
The sales assistant did not suffer any lasting injuries.
