Rolex had contracts with some nations to produce watches for their military - most often Submariners. They are now iconic and fetch quite a sum when sold - a brief background may help: http://gearpatrol.com/2014/03/18/ico...ry-submariner/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In other news, those of us Brits with a few special pieces have found that they are worth a few pounds more than they were!
