Lost my watch today

Yeah shovelling was my guess early in the thread. Wonder let us know what part failed? I think guessed Springbar or micro adjustment.

Oh my goodness, what a rollercoaster this was. I was refreshing a few times a day to see if there were good news! I think we all felt your pain, and we are all rejoicing in the good news! Congrats Robert, bless your mum!!!

Exact reason why I put a Maratac Zulu on my DeepSea. Even if a springbar fails, the other one will "catch" the watch. Had my early-90's SeaDweller come apart at the bracelet and hit a marble floor. The bracelets are definitely the weak link...
