This flew as part of his personal kit which every crew member gets for things like music, books, trinkets, etc.
In case anyone is wondering, the certificate isn't tied to the watch serial number. It's not done for valuation purposes, but simply as a crew souvenir for friends/family. But I know it's the watch.
My wife and daughter have had charms flown for them different flights, and they got similar certificates. Makes a cool wall hanging.
I really enjoy my job, but things like this are just icing on the cake.
I've never heard about Mr Edward Lu before
Now , I know he's a Gentleman...
And your watch is a pure gem , not in reference of its price or value , but with its history.
