The cow's predictable reaction at the AD when told that it was necessary to forge a relationship, buy several undesirable watches, and get on a waiting list. Rolex: the prime cause of Mad Cow Disease.

I’m sure the cow was tired of being noticed.

I have a 105.012 tritium dial that was eaten / chewed by a toddler. Can see tooth marks and everything, guess the tritium must have been yummy. The lady I bought the watch off was clearly in a bad situation so I didn’t bother her about but but no idea who gives a smashed 321 Speedmaster with bits falling off to a kid that small as a toy.

Cows will eat anything, its entirely possible the cow did swallow it and shit it out, The turd would've rotted away and then the watch may well've been trampled into the soil, waiting for ol'mate to come along with his metal detector.

A mate of mine had a long driveway through the paddocks leading up to the house, coming home late one hot night he ran outta fuel halfway along the drive, he left the old Ford Cortina there in the paddock figuring that he worry about it in the morning and went to bed, unfortunately he forgot to roll up the windows which were all open, due to the heat.
When he awoke in the morning he found the car surrounded by cows with their heads in the windows all happily munching away at the cars upholstery, the dash top, seats, head lining, door trims etc were eaten! The seat were stipped to the springs!
Must've been very tasty. in the following days he found bits of the vinyl upholstery and bits of plastic in cow pats all over the place.

Another incident happened to me, I had a large canvas marquis tent that we used as a portable workshop for the racing team.
I was temporarily using it to store some car parts in whilst I was re-roofing a shed.
It was in a separate fenced off paddock but was out of sight from view from the rest of the place. My dickhead idiot brother was visiting and went for a walk and left the bloody gate open, of course the cattle got in and proceeded to eat the tent guy ropes and all, trampling the contents as they went. the whole lot was buggered! there were bits of rope and canvas in the cowpats all over the place!

I doubt the cow actually ate it. Cows chew everything they eat meticulously. It would have spitted or threw it out as soon as it realized a piece of metal was in the mouth. It could have stepped on it and pushed it into the soil.

To be fair, the owner may have been on the horns of a dilemma?

My wife just got some cookbook and one of the recipes is "Fried Rolex" or something like that.
It is some celebrity cookbook (can't remember who) but apparently Ed Sheeran gave him the watch and then they deep fried it.

Not so sure about that - we used to place magnets in cows to prevent hardware disease caused by swallowed ferrous metals

Driving my dad's Cortina Mk3 was an exercise in herding cows. "Left a bit, left! Nooo, not that much, right, RIGHT...". So I can see the attraction for cows.
