A letter

from Brazil*

Mhave wom it constantly ever since.

TY ROLEX was bought about twelve years ago,

"Once, in the Brazilian jungle, a most amazing thing happened. We were travelling up the river Jequitinhonha, in the State of Bahia, by canoe. My wrist caught between the paddle and the edge of the canoe, the strap broke, and the watch disappeared into the flood. Search proved useless and I was obliged to continue, with a heavy heart. Two months later, travelling down the same river, I stopped for the night several miles below the point where.I had lost my Rolex, on a little beach where another camp had been established. That night, sitting round the fire, we began talking. Asked. how things were going, an old man said, 'Very badly, air. We have been panning for two-weeks, and we have only found mosquitos." (Little diamonds of no value.) "Pedro dos Santos thought he'd found a large piece yesterday, but it was only a watch,". he said, spitting with digust.

"My heart stopped, and I asked to see the find, and cotafully my dear Rolex was hurled at me across the fire. Immediately I asked Pedro if he would sell it to me. Ho consented, willingly, thinking that a watch that had been in the water was worth nothing. "The winder doesn't even work,' he said. With a broad grin at the idiocy of this foreigner he pocketed five milreis. The laugh was on the other side of his face when a few minutes later, I put it back on my wrist and set it going!"

This is an extract from a letter written to the Rolex Watch company by a customer, Mr. Victor L. Bondi, now of Geneva. We think it speaks for itself. There are few hardships a Rolex watch cannot undergo; that delicate mechanism is so made, s0 constructed, so well protected by the Oyster case. This, anyway, is the true story of what happened to one Rolex Oyster.
