Just for the heck of it........POW Chronograph MODEM DESTOYER Warning Fri, 22 September 2006 13:35 Go to previous message

Hi Folks

There is another post below about the POW 3525 chronograph watch sold recently.

I thought you might like to see the following.
















































Note the censor stamps from the German POW camp on all the wartime Rolex paperwork. Interestingly this gent was in the same camp as the owner of the watch recently sold. Also note that every Rolex letter is signed by Wilsdorf himself.

I think that the images are self explanatory.


Good Luck
James
