I'm reminded of a pretty cool story:
A mate had an Omega Seamaster (the James Bond watch) sitting in a drawer for twenty years, because it was cactus.
This prompted me to mention my mum's best friend is a jeweller, and that I could probably get a good quote on fixing it; he kept forgetting to give it to me, but eventually he remembered, and tossed it at me when we sitting on his verandah.
I fumbled the catch, the watch fell onto the wooden floor, and when I picked it up it was ticking
'Well, that was easy,' I said...
