Did AD take any links out and not use Loctite to secure screw(s)? Just thinking with the shovelling and all that movement with the other events pin may have backed off and slipped off releasing the link. Just a thought. Hopefully the sun is bright and temperature assists in your search. Best of luck and keep retracing your steps into the Spring while the snow dissipates.
Know someone who lost their Rolex playing golf in Canada and was found two years later, turned into the Pro Shop and soon after reunited with owner. There is always hope.
Hope you find it long before that.

OP sorry to hear. 2 weeks after I got my watch I felt a scratch at my wrist and noticed a pin had come loose. AD adjusted the watch for me at purchase. Possibly you had a pin come loose.

Yeah, the watch is history if a bar works itself out and it is not noticed. They are fully uncrewed to the depth of the thread which is really not much so the protrusion can be small and not noticed until the bars falls out.

Sounds about right. Probably in a hurry or not properly trained.
