Lost and found!

My wife and I went to visit family in Europe for Christmas. I brought 4 watches with me for the trip, including this one.

I was wearing it on our return trip, including the drive back from the airport. We were very tired upon getting home, so we dropped our bags, showered, and went straight to bed.

In the next few days I looked for this watch but couldn't locate it. I checked out bags, the laundry, high and low, couldn't find it.

I never forgot about it, kept my eyes on eBay and watchrecon to see if any bargains on it would come up since it appeared mine was gone for good, no luck.

Alas, my wife found it for me today, after it being missing since late December of last year. It had somehow wound up under my desk at home, and the battery was still high. 

Today is a good day. Hope you're all doing well.

Great story! I hope you did something nice for your wife! I would be lost without my GWM5610.

It's always in the last place you look...

I don't know about a hunger strike, but I probably wouldn't return to work, or even leave the house, until I found one of my Omegas or my Rolex 😜.

I hear you lol but I'm glad your wife found your Casio. I have that same one is my workout and vacation watch.

I once "lost" a watch and found it where it was supposed to be.  Shocking!  😉

Well, I guess not all stories can be entertaining or interesting.

Not a mystery at all. Once you have found it you stop looking, hence it is in the last place you look.

You have an amazing sense of the obvious.

Perhaps the irony was lost in the translation...

I have been marking student exam papers all month. My expectations of people's logical thinking skills are not very high at the moment...
