An old man has been keeping an antique watch with him for over 50 years now. He bought this Rolex 1960 GMT Master Model Rolex when he was in Germany for the Armed Forces. His sergeant told him that Rolex manufactures the best watches so he spent his month's salary for one and paid $ 120.35 for it.
But years later, Antiques Roadshow came to his town. He decided to take the watch out from its safe box. The antique expert was surprised that he was able to keep all the watch's accessories, even its receipts, manual, certificate, and box! He changed the bracelets of the watch somewhere in the middle, but he was able to keep its original ones!
So when it was time for the appraisal, he was shocked to learn that he's going to be offered $ 65-75,000 for it! He didn't expect this at all since he thought that the watch was old and wouldn't have any value at all.
His reaction was priceless and many netizens were just so happy for him. One netizen said: "Now take the money and go see the world! You earned it!!" One got quite envious and said: "wish I would have kept my dad's old one looks just like that one"
The video garnered a lot of attention with over 2.2 Million views as of this writing.
