{{{Caption}}}

First Introduced

"House of the Rising Sun"

Owned by

Jin

Found by

Michael

Used by

Jin, later Michael

Two identical gold Rolex watches were given to Jin by Mr. Paik to deliver to business associates in Sydney, Australia and Los Angeles, California. ("...In Translation") Jin delivered the first one, but crashed on the Island before he could deliver the second one.

Michael found the remaining watch on the beach and decided to wear it. When Jin saw this, he attacked Michael to protect his honor. After Sun explained to Michael why Jin acted the way he did, Michael gave the watch back to him. ("House of the Rising Sun") After the second raft was launched, Jin returned the watch to Michael. ("Exodus, Part 2")

After returning to New York, Michael pawned the watch at Gus' Pawn Shop in exchange for a revolver. Gus noticed the watch's Korean inscription: "Congratulations ... mutual cooperation ... business development ... Mr. Paik". ("Meet Kevin Johnson")
