This is pretty sick, guy finds a 80k Rolex and wants to find the owner:

How to Enable Cookies

I hope it gets back to it's rightful owner as soon as possible, can't imagine losing a watch like that.. The guy that found it should get some kind of reward if it gets sorted out.

I could never keep it either. May not go out of my way to call every Rolex office in the world like the OP is, but I would definitely try to locate the owner.

I wonder if "SoCal C4S" in that thread is our SoCal?

I'd have to try and give it back. I like sleeping too much to have a conscience screaming at me.

I would think they could trace the serial number also. I for one, would do my best to return it.
