Hahaha, an appropriate reference. I was thinking about this exact scene as well.

Easy. Put on a full hazmat suit and dive in. Pretend like I am exploring a new planet.

Can I wear a hazmat suit? If so, that's what I'd be wearing when grabbing that diamond index platona at the bottom.

The watch would forever be a conversation starter...maybe not one to be proud of, but interesting.

I wonder what the poop depth rating is on a Rolex!

I just measured my 'reach' and it is about 80 cm (32 inches) which means that the head would have to go under.
Nuh - not doing that. Not for a watch, a wedding ring, not for anything. It can stay there.
The stuff you could catch putting you head under could be very nasty and last for the rest of your life.

If you have thoughts like this while drinking, you should either drink a lot more or a lot less. I'm not sure which one though.

Of course I would take it out, what‘s the Problem?
A shower afterwards (with the watch in my hand, and everything is fine!
You get no diseases from just grabbing into shit...

I'd rather keep my self-respect ;)
Though I must applaud the creativity here for a Friday afternoon.

4 feet deep? My arm isn't that long so no, I would not attempt retrieving the watch.

You can't use any other items other than your very own limbs. It's 4 feet deep to the bottom. Would you?

Have fun and be creative!
I'd use my hands to knock it over and make it easier for myself. Then pay some guy a few hundred with my hands to Wade through it and find it.
