Awesome!


Please post a recover pic!


Plus I’m really interested how it fell off(?) Is the clasp broken or something?

Congratulations OP. It’s like a second incoming. Please let us know, was it found with the bracelet open, or was it a screw missing? Once again, I’m really happy for you.

Congrats and now you want to lie in a dark room for a few days.
What a relief well done.

So glad to hear! Awesome news!! You might want to check at your Rolex AD if all the pins / screwed are tight on the bracelet.

Congratulations.

Here is a tip... the next time you use a jackhammer, chop wood, dig a trench, or shovel snow, just leave the watch at home.

How does a watch fall off like that?

Very concerning.
