Rolex watches. Is there anything they can't do?
"It would become known as the “Rolex Murder” – for the single clue that identified the victim, leading officers through an international web of lies and deceit. On July 28, 1996, a man’s body was found in the net of the Brixham trawler Malkerry six miles off Teignmouth.
Detectives found nothing on the body to indicate who the drowned man was. Their only clue was a 25-year-old Rolex Oyster watch which was still attached to his right wrist. Six weeks later, after researching Rolex’s meticulous service records, officers established that the victim was 51-year-old former soldier Ronald Platt.
...
Tests on the Rolex watch established it would have taken 44 hours to wind down. The watch stopped on June 22, which meant that he had died on June 20. From the GPS we could put Walker’s boat in the area on June 20."

Now if he had been a watch enthusiast he probably would have kept the watch to wear for himself and never been caught!
If I were in that situation, which I wouldn't be of course, I'd think it was a shame to chuck a Rolex in the sea. It might seem a bit heartless to take it off a dead man's wrist, but hey: I've just killed him!Originally Posted by Frakius
