Last Saturday's attack came two days before the 42-year-old comedian was ambushed just three miles away in North London.
Exclusive footage obtained by The Sun showed two black-clad riders menacing the comedian moments after smashing the window of his £125,000 Range Rover on the school run.
Michael was seen handing the watch to one thief, who then rejoined his accomplice on the bike and raced off.
Two days earlier, four thugs pulled up on two mopeds wither side of a Mazda RX5 on the North Circular Road in East Finchley.

The 27-year-old financial manager, who wishes to remain anonymous, told the Sun Online: "They put hammers through the windows and started shouting 'give us your watches'.
"Then a third man pulled up at my window with a knife and that's when I started taking my watch off and gave it to them."
Horrifying dashcam images show one thug climbing on the car, kicking the windscreen and smashing it.
The muggers then jump back on the moped and head west on the A406 towards Brent Cross.
