In "The Watch Steal Video" they recommend practicing the technique using a mostly used paper towel roll. If you leave about a centimeter of paper towel wrapped around the roll it will be about the right size as a wrist. Put a watch on it and hold it in your left hand while you practice stealing the watch with your right (or vice versa). I think they had some technique where you could prop it up somehow but it's been quite a while since I watched it. At any rate, something like that should get you most of the way there.

Gregory actually does this in his video, the guy catches him and he just plays it off saying "Well actually I was trying to steal your watch, but since I couldn't.." and moves on to another effect. He later steals the guys watch multiple times, which tells me it's pretty imperceptible.
