We lost real Rolex lover today.

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
