MAJ75 922 Posted October 28, 2016 Hi All, I don't think this partcular story has been shared yet (mods apologies if I missed it). The watch in question is stunning & it holds a little more interest for me as it was purchased originally in Birmingham (local to me). https://www.deployant.com/pensioner-discovers-his-69-explorer-dial-1963-rolex-submariner-now-worth-over-100000/ I was following/bidding in the auction this week & saw the hammer drop at £140K!

BM284 1,522 Posted October 28, 2016 I read this the other day - fantastic story, thank the gods his watch-smith didn't change the dial!!! What a great piece of history to buy (if you had 140k to hand) .... And all for £69 back in the day!! Great story :thumbsup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
