Pretty cool story and photos. Looks like a 5513. Who knows how long it has been there.

Definitely a cool story!

Well that’s one way to sandblast a case and force patina.

Hope it keeps it. Such a cool find.

I’d totally keep that. I would also not be surprised if he hears from Rolex with an offer to buy it for the archives and marketing purposes.

Very cool story. I found a $20 bill once while surfing. I think I spent it on ice cream.

Not nearly as exciting.

pulp fiction'ing this watch this late in the game would be "rough".
