The other day, I saw another watch enthusiast whom I hadn't seen in probably 15 years. He told me a story that was similar to my own story. Each of us had a (non-Rolex) watch stolen, and we each got them back a decade later. In his case, a shady pawn shop was involved. He thinks the pawn shop owner might've kept the stolen watch for years and tried to sell it later, after the heat died down (which didn't work out so well for the pawn shop owner). Hopefully you'll see it again at some point.
