If you still have the hard drive, it can be mailed to a Data Recovery company. The charge may be higher than the value of the data so usually a phone call will get you a quote.

Rescuing data from the undamaged sectors is possible but usually a single shot opportunity. Some inaccessible data might never be recovered but usually 90% of media can be saved.

Drive has long gone with the laptop in the bin, it was a very long time ago think I was running millenium or XP.

Great story. Like others stated one of the reasons we are on TRF. This will help many appreciate and understand the history and significance of the vintage models and what makes them so special.

I’ve always found the modern Prince model to be a very interesting watch, certainly outside the norm for Rolex as well carrying an almost Art Deco vibe. If I recall it had an exposed movement on the back of the case. It’s a very cool watch.
