lol that sucks.

Kokyuryoku · 19 August 2011, 05:14 PM

Good luck. I like the fishing suggestion and the drawer removal method. Keep us updated

rolexsweep · 19 August 2011, 05:50 PM

Lots of c4...

le_baroudeur · 19 August 2011, 07:03 PM

Put a grenade and shout "rolex in the hole!"

ErikXIV · 19 August 2011, 07:07 PM

Id fill the hole with concrete and fixate a big iron loop in it. When the concrete has set, make a hole in the roof and hire a big crane and lift the concrete block out. If all goes well the watch should come up with the concrete block. Then detach watch from block - easy!

How hard would it be to train a large Python to retrieve watches from hard to reach places and not eat any cats in the process I wonder

swatty · 19 August 2011, 07:44 PM

I reckon pull out the bottom draw, reach in and pick up the watch

A variation of this is to train a mouse to retrieve the watch, then use the pythton to eat the mouse, while holding onto the tail of the python. I saw this work in Bangalore once, while on expedition.

Good luck!

Update?

masterserg · 20 August 2011, 02:45 AM

Chuck Norris can look at it and the watch will come up serviced and on time.

77T · 20 August 2011, 03:49 AM

Because you only have 20cm of free space between the ceiling and the wardrobe, go to: http://www.google.com/products/catal...ed=0CH4Q8wIwCA

Get one of these:

Tape a good drapery hook to the end. Extend the folding yardstick one segment at a time until you make contact and begin twisting, fishing until you succeed. Good luck

dooder202 · 20 August 2011, 04:25 AM

Very interesting, first time I've ever heard of a situation like this. I'm sure if you bend a clothes hanger the right way you will be able to stand it unless non of the bracelet is showing, then it can be a bit tricky.

Boothroyd · 20 August 2011, 04:33 AM

WAIT! I think I am close...how about a variation on this:

This has the added advantage of sparing the cat any more mental and physical trauma.

More help, that's oustanding.

In the meantime, we need an update from Istanbul!

Boothroyd · 20 August 2011, 09:12 AM

Shocking news, dddrees. Apparently, they have cats to spare in Instanbul: http://www.foxnews.com/world/2010/08...ng-metropolis/

Sad news indeed, but you don't mean Felix has become one of these unlucky strays too?

Has anyone seen Felix lately?

By the way not to say it's your fault mind you, but everytime you post Felix losees a life or becomes a bit more endangered.

What's up with that???

I don't care about the watch anymore, I just want to know how Felix is doing. He has been in that hole for quite some time now.
