Panic broke out when a $200k watch fell into the ocean, but then a miracle happened
A man was filmed in the moments after he dropped a $200k Richard Mille watch into the ocean.
As you can imagine, he was panicked.
Fortunately, a diver was on hand and willing to jump into the water from the docks to do an impromptu rescue mission.
Not that he’d have an easy time doing so – the watch was green.

And let’s just say, this portion of water was looking quite greenish.
Fortunately, the watch was titanium, so it’d be a light thing to retrieve.
The diver managed to find it and reunite with its owner, leading to a lot of celebrations on dry land.
We’re talking cheers, hugs, and a ton of cash being dished out.


Throw in fireworks, and you’d perfectly encapsulate how happy everyone was.
We don’t know how much money the diver got for his efforts, but one commenter recommended that he get at least $10,000.
Nobody would want to lose a Richard Mille, least of all in the ocean
Richard Mille is a very luxurious watch brand, and you’d only need to look at who wears one on their wrist to see that.
How about the third child of Asia’s richest man?
Anant Ambani left Mark Zuckerberg stunned when he wore a $1 million Richard Mille during a pre-wedding party.

And that’s not forgetting LeBron James, Rafael Nadal, and Fernando Alonso.
We’ve even heard of famous cases where owners have lost their Richard Mille watches – Charles Leclerc’s was stolen, and ended up being sold on the black market.
At least the guy who dropped his in the ocean didn’t have to go through all of that.
