A Rolex agent is selected with much thought and care. i He is-selected because he's a top man in his -trade; his quali fications and experience are be yond reproach; he is the sort of man who can handle the finst watcbes in the world. His stock of watches is well re plenished, his range of spare parts is comprehensive enough for any emergency. He is fully informed about Rolex improve ments, about their research, of the discoveries they have made. And when your Rolex needs cleaning, or servicing, you can leave it in bis hands with com plete confidence. He is equipped and qualified to give it the best service of all perfect service.
