Thanks for sharing, very nice account.
I wonder why the original owner decided to part away from such a watch... can you share this piece of info as well? |

Mods this is an international forum where comments such as this should not be tolerated. Attacking a country or making fun of war is not a joke, and it's a total lack of respect to the many on this forum who serve in the armed forces. More and more comments like this are popping up and really do not contribute to the great world of Rolex. |

I know this is a old thread but am reading it for the first time. It is an amazing watch. I would love to own such a fine example. Did you ever get rid of it or is it still sitting in your collection.
Thanks for sharing

I have to question the sanity of the originanl owner - who would ever want to leave UCLA?!?!? Go BRUINS!
But, back to watch talk - cool watch Jacek. Pretty sure it is long sold by now, but thank you for sharing the story. Always great to hear that watches were worn as they were supposed to be, and now hopefully they can spend another adventurous lifetime on someone else's wrist!

Great story. One day I would like one but am not confident enough in my knowledge to be able to pick the right one.
