"if you would of told me $1500 id be happy"
wow id give you $2000, deal?
So glad for the man.
A nice surprise!
always makes me wonder how many total gems are just sitting around in drawers around the world!
I'd seen that before but really enjoyed watching it again. What a lovely thing to find out for the old chap. It's great to see these sort of things.
I'd suggest rather a lot. I trained as a nurse between 1994-97 and like all student nurses did some time caring for the elderly and got to know many of them. I always wear a Submariner and one old chap noticed it was a Rolex and told me that he had an old one at home that he had brought during the war whilst learning to fly in Canada. He told me that had been tempted to sell as it was never used but didn't think it was worth much. He asked his wife to bring it in on her next visit, which she did and it was a lovely old Rolex Oyster, probably worth a lot to those old folk. I wasn't allowed to buy it even if I had the cash, which I didn't, but told them to get it properly valued at a respected Rolex jewellers before deciding to sell.
That kind of thing happened fairly regularly, another time I was doing my stint with the district nurse and we visited a poor old chap in Poole who wasn't managing at all well. He asked me to get his reading glasses from a draw and sitting next to them was an old Constantin Vacheron dress watch that clearly hadn't been worn for many years.
OK that's only two examples in three years of nursing but it does make me feel that there are a lot around, unwanted, unworn and waiting to be found.
A mate of mine from the Isle of Whight does house clearances on the island and south coast, he regularly finds jewellery and watches along with less valuable and interesting things, some of which are fairly disgusting.
A couple of years back I brought an old silver case ladies Rolex from a charity shop in Lewes, the dial was signed by a shop and the Rolex print had faded, I suppose someone didn't realise what it was and didn't think enough of "granny" to see any sentimental value in her watch and donated it with the rest of her junk.

The owner looked like he needed oxygen after hearing that! (I know I would have!!)
Lovely to watch thanks for post8ng it
Nobody any more, most of them if bought at an AD can be sold for profits, they are more commodities now and can see that in buying patterns on forums too now.
Think how much more it would have been worth if he’d kept the stickers!

The years have been kinder to Penn than to Teller.
Funny to watch, thanks for sharing
I worked with a guy in 2009 who asked me about a couple of old Rolex he had in his "throw" drawer as he heard I was into watches, one was a milsub and the other a comex sub.

Saw this. Absolutely incredible.
What a nice old chap he is,I am very pleased for him.
I doubt I will be alive in 50 years so to late for me to invest.
Would be such a brilliant yet awful situation to find yourself in. Which wins, the dollar value or sentimental value?
At that age take the money and use it.
What an amazing thing to keep and pass down. Something of mass value and hopefully to the family an even bigger sentimental value.
