Carl is right. Duct tape has to be involved here somewhere.

Plus, it won't hurt the cat.

Have you seen the cat?

docmarioce · 19 August 2011, 08:34 AM

Go to a Durable Medical Equipment (DME) store and buy a reacher to get your watch back. Good luck

Best

What about those claws to pick up rubbish of the ground, if that happen to me I would just cut the back of the wardrobe out get the watch and then use that spot as a secret stash

This is hands down on of the best thread ever. Someone call Crackerman or Jan Davis. They /He can get into anything. Just ask him.

I knew he was going to get into it at some point!

Here he is showing us how to get into a tight space...

dddrees · 19 August 2011, 09:33 AM

So is that your way of telling me that the cat died?

psv · 19 August 2011, 09:35 AM

Well, this was entertaining.

Jason71 · 19 August 2011, 09:38 AM

The cat is dead??!!! That makes me so sad. I thought he would get the watch out.........I really did.

I was really rooting for him too.

I think I'm going to cry.

I heard the cat died, not a very pretty sight.

What's less of a hassle?
a. Retrieving your watch by any means neccassary
b. Explaining to the in-laws you're not wearing the Rolex because you dropped behind furniture.

Rolex Junky · 19 August 2011, 10:12 AM

Good luck retrieving tour watch.

PS: Do I spot a giant silver vibrator on the dressoir?

dddrees · 19 August 2011, 10:21 AM

Anyone hear any updates about the watch recently?

Grissom · 19 August 2011, 10:30 AM

Going to be a long night.....

GradyPhilpott · 19 August 2011, 10:37 AM

Well, if I had a Rolex lodged in such a place, I'd have had that wardrobe disassembled the first chance I had, even if I had to call in a specialist, whatever that might be.

I worked for a furniture store, so I know that furniture can either be very easy to disassemble, as is the case with much of the furniture that comes to the US from Scandinavia or quite difficult as is the case of handmade furniture.

Whatever the case I'd find a way and it wouldn't be for the in-laws, either, even if they gave it to me.

The one thing is that it's probably safe down there.

If there is enough room for you to tilt the thing far enough back to insert a rod or coat hanger, then that'd be my first attempt. I'd move it enough to the left in the picture to have some room to work in what appears to be a hallway. After that, I'd get a screw driver and a rubber mallet and go to town, so to speak.

Aint no way that thing could fit in that little hole.

That cat would have died all nine times if it ever tried.

smith one · 19 August 2011, 11:00 AM

I'm sorry, Did i miss how the watch got there in the first place??

I was just thinking there has to be a story?

I think the OP mentioned that a couple pages back. I may have missed it, but that's because I was more worried about the cat.

I like the hole saw method. I agree with some people here... If I lost my Rolex in a place like that I would make a hole or dismantle part of the cabinet.

sleddog · 19 August 2011, 12:16 PM

Just came up with another solution!!

Clear all the contents out of the closet, including draws and even the sliders if easy to do.
Lay the cabinet down on it's face or back, which ever is easier.
Then pic up the bottom and lift up until you have enough angle to allow the watch to slide back out of the top and onto the floor!!!

Caveat for Dan: make sure the cat is not in the room at the same time!!
