We often hear from OW owners whose watches have served them well for 60 years or more. Some of these owners are Vietnam veterans who wore their watches in combat. We also hear from owners who were bequeathed OW watches by relatives who served in Vietnam. One such owner is JT Hinkle of Rogersville, Tennessee whose father, Marine Sergeant Jerry Hinkle wore an OW at the 77 day siege of Khe Sanh, one of the key battles of the conflict. 50 years on, as a tribute to his late father, JT set out on his own mission: to find the exact same Ollech & Wajs watch that had served his father so well all those years ago. His story is now part of the OW anthology, if you have time, pour yourself a coffee and listen to the audio version here.
