Letter from the seller:

I purchased my Rolex Submariner in 1975 in Benghazi, Libya, while living and working there from 1973 to 1976, during the construction of a 500-bed hospital by Skanska. Since then, my Rolex has accompanied me across many countries, including the United States (for 40 years), Canada, Russia, Kazakhstan, DR Congo, Sierra Leone, Guinea, Egypt, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Peru, and others, while representing prominent Swedish companies such as Skanska, IKEA, Nordea, Swedbank, the UN, and foreign companies. It has taken part in various activities such as diving, climbing, sailing, skiing, and even dancing, and has interacted with many remarkable, famous, and not-so-famous individuals, including some dangerous and crazy ones. Additionally, I was involved in the construction of Europe's largest shopping mall, Avia Park, in Moscow, working for some of Putin's oligarch associates until I terminated the contract after the invasion of Crimea.

Now, it's time for my Rolex to serve someone else. While my children and grandchildren currently prefer Apple Watch or similar devices, they will eventually come to appreciate the timeless reliability of the automatic Rolex Submariner, which functions perfectly in all weather conditions and doesn't depend on electricity. However, I am concerned that it may go missing in the meantime, which is why I want to ensure that it ends up in the right hands as soon as possible.
