Found an expensive watch at SWCC about two weeks before xmas. We have waited a couple of weeks to see if anyone enquired but so far no one has. There must be some rich cavers out there.

A full description and perhaps a donation to rescue would ensure return. If no reply in two weeks we will take to police and then auction for rescue.
