Guess I sold mine too soon

 

That is worth waaaay more than the quote of 65-75k... I hope that guy doesn't get ripped off

 

This is from many years ago, hence the low estimate.

 

Somebody get him a chair and a shot of whiskey...

 

The look on the owner's face is priceless!! Cool story!

 

Naw it was a low estimate when it came out. The gold Daytona from the same period sold at auction for what 2x what they said in the show.

 

I enjoyed that video - nice to see an honest watch and a very nice surprise for what appeared to be a lovely gentleman

 

....and a veteran that was stationed Germany in the early 1960s still around to tell his story......

 

this was my favorite AR segment. it always blows my mind that $104 in 1960 is about $868 today. meanwhile, a new SS GMT is 10x that amount.

 

And for many military Rolex still has that resonance as back in the 1970s for some Apollo astronauts (Collins, Swigert, Mitchell, ... to name a few) their personal favorite chronograph which they even took to the Moon

 

Hehe, he got some good advice way back then.

 

He would have been happy with $1500. So you can imagine how many dealers take advantage of people with expectations like this.

Fantastic clip, thanks for sharing.
