I see he's wearing a Daytona, so I show him my Sub and we chat about cars and motorcycles a bit.

After the dives, we are back at the port, and he can't find his watch. He's obviously worried, and frantically searching the boat.

He gives me more than one dirty look, and I'm thinking, this guy thinks I stole his watch.

I'm half expecting him to call the police on me.

Finally he finds it tucked in a sunglass case in the bow.

I think I was as relieved as he was.

Ever since then, I don't draw attention to other people's expensive belongings.

That is a tricky situation... I can see Larry David writing an episode around that.
