I don't have to tell you that 54-year-old sets that haven't been cobbled together are an appreciating commodity and very tough to locate these days. Enjoy the watch!

I wonder if mailing that in now to Rolex geneve would elicit a response of some sort? Like getting a letter in the mail 50 years too late… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Haha yes it would be interesting to see what happens. According to my research that watch store in Okinawa does not exist anymore. I think it was located on/ near a US army base. Not about to tear out that page though ;-).

I agree with JP's assessment of the case, it's clearly been polished but not overly so and remains thick and well defined. The sides look straight and the lug holes are free from the kind of softening that develops with repeated polishing. Very nice watch with lots of character and a bunch of papers that hit the "turn on" switch for many who are into full set collecting. A new dial can always be sourced, Mk1 dials don't grow on trees but they are not super rare either.
