James Steele, 95, was wearing his flash watch in 1974 when the strap came loose, and the watch itself was scoffed by one of his milk cows. He reckoned the watch would eventually 'turn up', but it didn't - and he eventually bought himself a new Rolex (right, his old one left)

I thought the same.

We may discovered a new technique to mod watches to achieve patina.
