It’s amazing to note that you were able to retrieve your “Rolex” watch after a span of 40 years. This speaks highly of the honesty and care the Swiss citizens take about the goods and services placed in their custody. No wonder people all across the world don't hesitate in handing over their funds and valuables to the custody of the Swiss Banks. Thanks for sharing your rare experience. Dear Jatinder,

You wouldnt believe this story. A friend of mine-Surinder Nath(67years) with his wife went on a weeks SOTC tour of Switizerland ,(Rs One lakh each) and casme back begining of this month. I had given him an address of a watchmaker, with whom I had left my Rolex for repair in December 1964 while returning from London,and asked him to cvheck if he could find the watch after all these years.Now this unbelievable, my watch was traced AND RETURNED but unrepaired as it couldnt be repaied, BUT the safe keepin of my propert for almost 40 years is the thing onlw Swiss can do. I now need to go back to thank him , because of your mail. I hope your readers dont mind my bla-bla. Well , everybody has praised yourwriting skills,I wouldnt do it.

The expense for the trip depends entirely on the duration and timing of the trip. However, some of the travel companies are offering very attractive packages, e.g.: TUI’s offer for six nights / seven days trip to Switzerland and Paris includes: Return fare Accommodation with breakfast Excursion to Mt. Jungfraujoch and Mt. Pilatus Half day city tour in Paris Second class Swiss Rail transfers Excursions and city tours, sightseeing and transfers All return transfers This will cost you around Rs. 56 K, but the airport taxes and visa fees are in addition to this. I suggest that you call them at 011- 41513311 or 42658467 – 9 and take all the details. It would be advisable to check their detailed itinerary. And mind you all these things are negotiable. You can always walk away with better deals. You may also check up with: Dewanholidays .com Tel No. 011-3048 6600, 9818 12 3312 D.
