Okay, so a guy on vacation looses a gifted G.M.T. Master while swimming in Half Moon Bay, Antigua. The lost watch takes up residence on the ocean floor for two years thrashing to and fro. Along swims a Frenchman, who finds the watch on his dive. In a fine demonstration of upstanding character, he returns it to Rolex London. Rolex London consults the Rolex service records and discovers the original buyer was the swimmer’s brother. They contact the brother. In another display of upstanding character, the big brother has the watch re-conditioned and re-gifts it back to his brother with a little sage advice, “Don’t lose it this time.” Check out the before/after pics folks; the G.M.T. doesn’t even have the triple lock crown and the movement is perfect.

Wow! If you hadn’t post those snapshots, I would say it’s a fairytale!
If I happened to be a marketing manager of Rolex, it’d open a bottle of Champagne today, you really do not get such a story every day…
