zippin23 Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Does anyone know which Rolex Air King was given to RAF, POW's in WWII? My grandfather was a U.S. soldier, but I remember him having a Royal Air Force watch that he said was given to him by an RAF pilot. I'd like to see if I can find the replica.

zippin23 Posted February 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 I'm crazy about military history and I remember him havng that watch in a drawer. We all played with it and an old M1 bayonnet. Lol I remember hearing the story several times, but the watch disappeared when he passed.
