Right guys that's enough or the second word will be off permanently and I am not joking.

WOW thats a cool story . This is why i have insurance on my sub tt

St Thomas 16610 · 2 September 2012, 07:41 AM

Great story. I lost a sub 1680 in the surf at Freshwater Beach in Sydney Australia back in 1980. Still surf there today and wonder if it's still together as I paddle over the spot where I lost it. I'm sure it's case is solid perhaps but I'm guessing it's covered in barnacles and wedged in rocks at the south end. I now have a replacement after waiting 30 years so it's kinda cool that I know it's resting there forever. Love these stories. Cheers.

How cool is that bezel insert!? That's a true tool watch. It will otherwise look like it had never left the owner's wrist after some soap and a medium bristle toothbrush.

SennaFan · 2 September 2012, 11:04 AM

That is freakin cool

Sbuckaroo · 2 September 2012, 11:44 AM

That's what I was thinking. Most steel would have had far more corrosion than that. Great story!!!

Great story, can't wait to see the "after service" pictures....

bewithabob · 3 September 2012, 02:16 AM

Truly remarkable story. But I expect nothing less because it's a ROLEX!

Luxe Time · 3 September 2012, 02:30 AM

Definitely a great story. I'm sure the owner will tell that story every time someone asks about his watch!

munshpe · 3 September 2012, 03:54 AM

Great story, but I hated to see the rust--minor though it was.

FreshPrince14 · 3 September 2012, 10:37 AM

Great story and very reassuring as well

Pep04 · 3 September 2012, 10:53 AM

If it were me, I wouldn't even polish or clean it off. Leave as is. THAT will turn heads as a truly unique watch and true example of engineering.
