What State as well as the specific charge and in what degree?

Adult or juvenile?

Previous record? On probation at the time?

Sorry for the cross examination but need more info to answer somewhat (?) intelligently -

Yes he has a previous record for similar offence, he's an adult and not on probation.

Hello chez:

He'll get 6 months probation, and he'll have to make restitution to you.

Hello again, chez:

Well that changes everything.

He'll be sentenced to one year and one day in prison. They'll fine him $1,250, and will have 3 years of probation. Plus, he'll have to make restitution to YOU and the STATE.

Thank you excon for your information I suppose its his own fault and I shouldn't feel guilty for pressing charges.

Should not be piggybacked on another thread - no one will see it and answer.

What are your damages? The watch, obviously and you'll need an expert's opinion on the value and the cost of repair or replacement if it cannot be repaired.

And personal injuries, of course. You "might" have to take the day off doesn't count. If you are injured get medical treatment and then sue the bar and/or the bouncer.

Or just go to a Police Station and file assault charges.

They will probably say you were disruptive and they removed you as quickly and quietly as possible so that no one else got involved or was injured - just so you know what their side of things will be.

I'm in the US and investigate a fair number of bar fights/bouncer "removals" here - I would assume that things are pretty much the same.
