Indeed!! It helps that I have a good friend who works in lost and found. Just had to sign the authorization to release and he delivered it to my home. But yes, take an inexpensive watch when you travel, people!!

commented on When was the last time you lost a watch? ·

I was lucky. Left my watch case with 2 G-Shocks almost a month ago during the chaos and confusion at the TSA check point when they had me empty my carry on because they couldn't recognize a CPAP machine. It definitely put a damper on my vacation, but they were luckily turned in to lost and found and I was able to get them back on my return. That's why I always advise people to travel with inexpensive watches.

Chuck Norris doesn't wear a watch. He simply decides what time it is.

Yes, multiple times, but all don't fall under your ground rules.

commented on Wait for perfection or settle? (at $1500 USD equivalent) ·

In Japanese aesthetics, wabi-sabi (侘び寂び) is a world view centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection.

I thought long and hard about picking one up, but the lack of contrast between the hands and dial may make visibility a problem.
