Watch that's back from the seabed... And it's still working, after 67 years


I love stories like this...

The last time Teddy Bacon saw his expensive gold watch it was sinking down into the harbour in Gibraltar.
That was in 1941, and the watch had slipped off his wrist when Lieutenant Bacon threw a line to shore from his ship, HMS Repulse.
After two divers failed to find his lost treasure, the young officer gave up on ever seeing it again.
