I was first introduced to the "Cuff Watch" by my mother. She gifted me a Silver Ox Chico Cuff Watch that was featured on Oprah's Favorite Things 2002. I wore it til it broke in two.
A couple years ago on a date to dinner and a movie at the Riverwoods, Ken bought me a random present at that random home decor store (you know which one I'm talking about right?): my beloved red watch. It was a GREAT replacement for the old chico version. I've worn it in on 4 continents and a dozen countries. It was starting to wear out and I was considering replacing it this birthday, but I was never going to let it go.
I've searched the testing center and the BYU Lost & Found (IeLi - any tips?) but they don't have it. I am positive I left it in the darkness of the testing center. Which means someone found it and just kept it? or threw it away?
Ah... what a shame. It's so rare to find something that you love like that. And supremely annoying when you lose it..

Well, good bye red watch. But seriously, it's like those photos were taken specifically for the red watch funeral. I mean, such a tribute to all things red, is so fitting for the final farewell. I'm so sorry you never found it. I can only recomment to pray. If you will recall, that is how I found my wedding ring. But perhaps such miracles to not extend out to replaceable (I know, harsh words) red watches? But it never hurts to try.
It is true, the watch is very replaceable. In fact, I may have found the exact one on ebay. Maybe THAT'S the answer to my prayer!
I had that EXACT watch! (Don't worry, got it a few years ago, and not in the BYU testing center!)
