Apparently, the forummer was at his local RSC looking for any good deals on a pre-owned Rolex piece, but was made amazed by a Submariner that was under repair works.
The story went that the owner was fishing on the west coast of British Columbia when the clasp of the Sub got entangled to his fishing rod, broke a pin on the bracelet and fell over-board. He immediately marked down the coordinates on his GPS.
And near to the location was a dredging barge that moved sediment from the ocean floor. He requested them to assist to dredge the area from time to time at a cost of USD85.00 per hour, and an additional USD1,000 if the watch was found.
Well, 15 months later, the barge recovered the watch during their routine dredging and voila, after 40 winds, the second hand started ticking!
How's that for a real attestant of Rolex durability!
