Watches Lost In The Ocean

[Apdl]

Just wondering, of all the watches (and other tools) lost in the oceans and lakes, how did it happen to you and was it recovered.
I have seen Padi56 comment that he has a sea dweller at 1000ft below the surface somewhere.
I am fascinated by these stories and also horribly afraid at the same time.
How does one prevent this? Check the bracelet screws and pray?
Are modern Roex watches any better?

There are some great examples
