Briefly, old chap fell in The River Orwell in England and lost his Rolex SD. 18 months later it's dredged up and returned to him. Working!!! Just about!!!

What a great story for Christmas chaps.

Great story, thanks. That loose Tritium plot from 2 o'clock might be able to be reapplied, but they'll probably stick a new dial and hands in when it goes in for service. Shame.
