I've not posted in a while, nevertheless it's good to be back.

The following link is to a recent story about a wristwatch discovered by a metal detectorist in Hong Kong, China (ex. British Crown Colony).
Whilst the watch found does not appear to have been official issue, it's interesting in the context of British military watches (and noting the British Empire Forces category of the time):

I imagine that there have been some interesting finds over the years elsewhere, e.g. crash sites and aircrew watches.

Best wishes,
