Another Navy Rolex... April 5 2012 at 9:06 AM		(Login mikewood) VRF Contributing Member from IP address 95.148.74.108


but this time a private purchase by a serving Navy man in Singapore in 1957: a Explorer #6610 Officially Certified Chronometer. Just back from spa treatment; the dial is a bit craggy (even though it is 55!), but I love the big gilt (radium) hands! Lots of nice paperwork, including the purchase receipt for S$275, guarantee booklet, Chronometer ratings certificate, and 1962 Rolex UK service paperwork when the Navy man got home! I'm sure I can squeeze just a little space in my treasure box to make way for this one! MW (Thanks R!)
