Research on Rolex & Omega 1970's issued watches
I'm trying to help my son in law out who is a bit of a watch nut, he collects both omega and Rolex watches and is especially into millitary ones.
Does anyone have any info or memories on the Rolex submariner that was issued to the AAC ( or earlier Omega seamasters), from what he has dug up so far he reckons that there were two or three batches of the Rolex supplied VIA COD donnington, in 1977 and 1979, and various Omegas in the late 60's and early 70's.
I came out in 75 and do remember a lot of the pilots wearing omega watches, but a couple of my mates who were in longer have sketchy memories of seeing Rolex's in use.
