2020 has been an unusual year filled with many strange details so here is a nice heartwarming feel-good story to warm and sooth your soul :-) British World War II Veteran, Don Headley shares his fascinating story about his experience aboard the HMS Bedouin 15th of June 1942:
"This was the (Rolex) watch I was wearing when the HMS Bedouin was sunk on the 15th of June, 1942 and now 78 years later it is still in working order."
Don mentioned he was somehow able to keep his Rolex while being a prisoner of war for 3 years thought the remainder of World War II.
In the video below Don tells the fascinating story of how he was a crew member aboard the HMS Bedouin Destroyer during World War II and his ship was escorting ships from Gibraltar to Malta, when an Italian arial torpedo sunk the Bedouin.
The HMS Bedouin Destroyer which Don Headley was aboard is pictured below.
Historically Rolex has always been extremely secretive and discreet, and no journalists in the past have ever been invited "INSIDE ROLEX" to explore and report on all four Rolex Manufacturing faclities in Switzerland.
In November 2013, this changed when Rolex invited Jake to take an unprecdented journey into the heart of Rolex to learn and report on everything he witnessed and learned.
