Rolex Wristwatch purchased from Itazuke APO 929 (Feb 1960)

Hi, I am hoping someone here might be able to help me. I collect time pieces and some years back purchased a Rolex Zephyr wristwatch circa 1951 that is accompanied by a Rolex Certificate indicating it was purchased from the Far East Exchange, Service Branch #2 - Itazuke APO 929 on Feb 29, 1960. I have just recently found your site and am hoping someone might be able to tell me more about where this watch traveled from. It is in such pristine condition someone must have taken exceptional care of it and I didn't realize they sold such time pieces at military installations back then.

Your site has truly made me think about all that happened back during those years. Thank you for being here and to those who gave so much and more serving our country.
