As one of the thieves pointed a gun in his face and demanded he hand over his diamond-encrusted Franck Muller Vanguard Chronograph, Faryal, 30, stood just a few steps behind.
Amir recalls the shocking incident in tonight's episode of Shopping with Keith Lemon.
Appearing on the show with Faryal, Amir said: "Me and her, we went to eat at some steakhouse and I'm walking to the car.
"I put my hand out and a guy comes and pushes me."

Re-enacting a gun being pulled, he continues: "I remember him coming to me and putting a gun to my head and saying, 'Take off your watch'.
"They go, 'give me the watch or I'm gonna shoot you'. I literally saw through the barrel of the gun."
Faryal adds: "I was a few steps behind. I remember going in the middle of the road and screaming for help."
Amir says: "I just took my watch off. I was thinking, 'what's the watch worth?' Say it was worth fifty grand, I've got money in the bank - I'm alright. I need my life."
