My dad died yesterday he was 90 yoa . He was in ww2 serving in U.S navy on the aircraft carrier USS Bunker Hill. He told me that some pilots on the ship were waring rolexes which he never herd about before. He had a very high regard for the pilots for the skill and bravery .My dad was in the engine room because his trade was a tool and die maker. He told him self one day I'm going to get one of those watches. It took him 30 years but he bought a Yg DD that he loved had it on for the next 30 years never leaving his wrist. He gave to me it last fathers day. Miss you dad you were the best! Your son George

Sorry to hear your Dad passed. I have a new respect for the sailors, after spending a weekend on the USS Lexington with the Cub Scouts. Your Dad was better equipped to appreciate the fine machine he wore on his wrist than most of us.

Remember him fondly, every time you look at his Rolex.

scrase123 · 7 March 2013, 12:25 AM

Sorry to hear about your dad. Sounds like a great guy. My condolences to you and your family.
