Has your Rolex ever got you OUT of trouble?

[Psmith]

We occasionally read threads about Rolex watches attracting unwanted - sometimes even criminal - attention

However, one of the enduring Rolex 'myths' is that the watch can be quickly liquidated in an emergency situation e.g. converted to ready cash, especially when travelling overseas

Has anyone here actually used their Rolex to extricate themselves from a difficult situation? I am just curious as I have fortunately not had to do this myself, and nor has anyone I know. I cannot recall any threads where this has happened …although someone is bound to know of (or find) one!
