Reminds me of watching a safety video years back showing an incident on a US Navy carrier.

A ground engineer was sucked into the intake of what I believe to be an A-6 Corsair.
He somehow came back out in one piece (his safety helmet somewhat damaged) but his watch was sucked clean off his wrist and spat out the back.
The watch unbelievably was still functioning!
You guessed it - a Rolex!

As the man said "the watch took a lickin'.....but it kept on tickin'"
