the bezel is burned right off of it! Either that or his wrist took one heck of a blow to knock the bezel off. Trully amazing that he's still alive or anyone for that matter from the wreck.
Good Post Coroner! |

a quick spit'n'polish and she'll be like new...
Maybe just a quick wipe with the infamous Cape-Cod, or better still, send it over to Dalton... Seriously, wow, glad he survived... like they say, if you can take it, so can your Rolex!!!

Crazy thing those two went through.
If the bezel melted off I would think the hands would have melted as well. |

It's actually a 1655 orange hand
He is my friend's buddy, and yes, he is VERY lucky to be still alive, they crashed
into the side of a hill in a plane with full fuel on take off, and they were both engulfed in flames when they came out of the fuselage! |

Here's a good reason for a sapphire crystal! Amazing survival story, though.

Holy crap. Thank goodness he survived. Hopefully, he can find a suitable replacement.
