@HowThingsWork_ Firefighters should not be used to do this as it will turn the public against them.

In July 1996, Albert Johnson Walker took his business partner Ronald Joseph Platt on a fishing trip. Whilst out at sea, Walker murdered Platt, weighed him down with an anchor, and dumped his body in the sea.
Two weeks later the body was discovered in the English Channel by a fisherman with a Rolex wristwatch being the only identifiable object on the body.
Since the Rolex movement had a serial number and was engraved with special markings every time it was serviced, British police traced the service records from Rolex. Ronald Joseph Platt was identified as the owner of the watch and the victim of the murder.
British police were able to determine the date of death by examining the date on the watch calendar and since the Rolex movement had a reserve of two to three days of operation when inactive and it was fully waterproof, they were able to determine the time of death within a small margin of error. Walker was apprehended shortly thereafter.
Walker was found guilty in 1998 and received an automatic life sentence for murder.
