the subject of Mr...S. W. Martin's letter addressed to The Rolex Watch Co., Ltd., Geneva, Switzerland.

"I bought Rolex Oyster Raleigh No. 162275/3478 in March 1942 in Weyburn, Saskatchewan, where I was serving as a Flying Instructor in the Royal Air Force. The watch wat never off my wrist and give perfect service, but its biggest test came In August 1944, when I was flying Beaufighters in Coastal Command: Returning from a mission, on one engine. I had to crash-land-lo a small field. It was a. pretty rough landing and the Beau Immediately caught fire and blew up. Needless to say got

was to slightly shrink and dis
