Here is the first in a series of many letters to be shown of Rolex owners that tell of their stories and experiences with their watches.

Great story, Steve!! I love knowing these around Rolex watches and not just from people like Kiri Te Kanawa or Yo Yo Ma in the Rolex adverts.
Please post more when you can.

Over a period of years, a Rolex can endure a host of adventures.

Very neat! Where are these stories being published? Are they being used as ads?

I have a book like this, 15 or so old, which is very similar - from my Rolex AD titled 'Every Rolex Tells a story'.

The sea dweller involved in the motorcycle accident looks preaty cool. I like the watch how it looks now. If they make jeans that look old and with holes, why not rolexes that look scratched? Just my opinion :-)
