YES! That's great, Robert--really happy for you!

[donas]

Yeesh, I can't imagine that feeling. Glad it was found. How did it come off...spring bar issue or just clasp came undone?

[henrylee]

See? St. Anthony comes thru again.

Tony Tony - he's our man, if he can't find it, no one can.

Glad you found it. Never underestimate the rigors of snow shoveling.

I shoveled my dads driveway today, went and cleared my moms cars off and cleared her parking spots, then went sledding and snowboarding with the kids and when I got home it wasn’t on my wrist. So in a panic I drove back around to places I was and am on my way to another. What a horrible feeling. No one I’ve spoken with understands a man and his watch so figured I would post here. This blizzard is not helping the situation either.

I imagine if it just slipped off and didn’t break off it wouldn’t have made it past a winter glove but would slip right off these thin gloves, just trying to imagine what happened.

Thanks again everyone.

Call me cynical, but...

The OP knows how many folks were rooting for him to find his watch, but he, so far, has failed to return to let us know what happened, i.e., did the bracelet break, etc. And look at what he has posted -- he shoveled driveways and cars, then went sledding and snowboarding with the kids. His search efforts all took place at location where they went sledding and snowboarding, and those activities presumably were taking place after 12:30 when he took a photo of the watch on his wrist. So how did the watch end up in a snowbank by his mother's cars that he had cleared off before he took the kids sledding and snowboarding?

Excellent points!

I wonder what the heck is going on with this guy, I think its interesting that he hasnt had a single response since he "found" his watch???

[1665fan]

He probably set the watch down on something like the car, forgot about it it fell in the snow…..then found it, bracelet in tact and forgot he set it down and forgot about it……now embarrassed is a no show…………..glad you found it at least if any of this did happen

[mikel]

Did he find it in nine days?

[Al1969]

OP is here now. Come on, let’s see the pics.

I really hope you find it. This is one reason I started wearing my Sub on a nylon (NATO) strap. If lone spring bar pops off, the other one is still holding the watch.

I hope that we all didn't get fooled by the op.

Even my wife and kids were pulling for him to find his watch.

I have faith that he'll post photos soon.

[shockdoctrine]

this is like the "this is happening now" thread all over again
