Great first post and welcome to the forum!
The story is always a huge part of the fun.
I assume you didn't receive the watch from him? Was he surprised to see it?
I'm surprised he gave it up.
A provenance letter with a little of the story, signed by him, will establish that watches history and his accomplishments for generations of admirers' to come.
There are many diver fans and shark mesh fans here, me included.
(p.s. While you are googling.....check out what happens to watch movements handled with bare hands, please have it serviced immediately!)
