Extreme conditions for your Rolex

[explorerII]

Who had their Rolex go thru an extreme condition?

One winter, Mine was ripped off my wrist by a thief in my back yard. Ran into the house to call police and knew then that I had lost my watch. In spring, two months later, when I drained the swimming pool, what did I find at the bottom? My Explorer II ! Seems the crook had gotten rid of it in case he got caught. It wasn't running but no water had gotten into it. Washed it off, set the date and time, shook it, and it started running fine again. Had to service it though for the broken wrist band.
