Need a way to find watched issues

I would like a way to remotely search for issues that i am watching. I need this filter to be able to create a "my watched issues" portlet for Jira Dashboard. To start with, all i need is to get a list of all watched issues for the current user, but I think there would be value in adding a watched filter to the navigator. If it were a filter there would be no need for a special RPC servicea nd the user could create more flexible searches for watched issues.
