I don't know...if I carry one of my mint Colt M1911, circa 1935, and wear my newly restored and stowed away in the safe Rolex Submariner I bought in the Saigon PX in 1969 for $270.00, in today's dollars, I would say $20,000.00, maybe more; and that's not counting the cash in my wallet, the pocket tools/knives, the wedding band, the college ring, etc.![]()
Do you have a red letter Sub?
Yes, the Submariner lettering is in red. It's funny, I had no idea of the value of these small details. Getting a Rolex while in country was a real chore, considering the each PX only got one or two each month, and the flag officers were first to know. Thankfully, I had an uncle who was a full bird working at MACV and he was able to snare me one.
