Found an Omega watch

Edward53

You're on holiday. It's your last day and - as @kkt said above - you're trying to cram everything in and time is tight. You're in a rush, you see a watch lying on the ground, you pick it up and put it in your pocket. No time to find out where the police station is let alone visit it. For all you know it may be a cheap quartz watch. OK perhaps you could give it to the hotel staff to pass on to the police but it's nothing to do with your hotel and how do you know they won't keep it? You forget all about it till you get home, then you have a good look at it, maybe show it to a friend. He / she tells you this is a real Omega and worth some serious bucks. You then think, hey, maybe I should do the right thing and try and trace it. So you ask politely on "the" specialist forum. And then your troubles start....

FFS! Why don't the honorable members here just cut the OP some slack? Talk about judge, jury and executioner!

OP sounds honorable.

for heavens sake, I would care more about getting the last run of the day in, THEN worry about someones lost watch that may or may not be special. What, I am supposed to drop everthing and run to the police station and hand in a watch?

So now the OP IS TRYING to get it back to the owner. In his own way.

To be honest with a watch this unusual, this forum might just be the best way to find the owner.

What if I PM him and tell him it's mine....Sure, I'd be a douche, but is a public forum really the best vehicle for this.

P.T. Barnum would have loved some of you.

Fair enough....I thought I would PM him and start a conversation trough email and learn his name and then look into his social media pages like facebook and Instagram along with his friends and family's until I could see vacation pics in Italy and make some notes and then reach out to him under a different alias and lay it down. I guess my internship at Wikileaks paid off.

I see the Mars Shuttle has landed back safe and sound with her long lost crew.

G'day Rich.
