A Closer Examination
After an hour of gardening, Steven’s curiosity got the better of him. Setting aside his shovel, he decided to take a closer look at the timepiece. However, there wasn’t much to make out through the solid layer of mud and grime. Steven contemplated rinsing the watch under the faucet, hoping to identify its brand or any other distinguishing feature.
But when he shared his idea with his wife, she immediately intervened, deeming it imprudent. She cautioned against potentially damaging or devaluing what could be a precious antique. Sensing the weight of her words, Steven knew seeking professional advice was the wisest course of action.
