·This is my same story. Saw a guy at a gas station with a 60s era Milgauss. Said hey nice milguass. He says no its a Rolex. I said well the model is a milguass and its quite special. He said Oh really? So I explained it to him and he really didn't know whether to believe me or not. I asked him how long he's had it. He said since he got out of the marines in 69. Worn it every day since. Since it seemed he didn't know much about it, I asked why he chose that one. Said it was the cheapest rolex they had there, and he wanted a rolex. I explained again that it is quite valuable now and he should take extra care. He shrugged, said he'd worn it like that for 50yrs, another day of the same won't matter.
So apparently a lot of old-timers don't care or know the value of their pieces. I can't wait to discover a beaten to heck original Paul Newman. I stopped myself from telling him the value of his watch. I just hope the watch makes it to his son. A lot of idiots looking to do idiotic things these days.
I discovered my favorite gas station that day, if there's such a thing.
