Rolex Submariner Ref 5510
A senior Navy employee named Rob from the U.S. (Ebay name: bobles85) has this year experienced a wonderful Christmas surprise. An old Rolex Clock, which he wanted to sell for a few dollars to raise money for Christmas gifts, he has earned $ 66 100!
Kwajalein Atoll
In 1968, he has worked on the atoll on a Kwajalien Navy outpost and during that time, the Rolex Clock gegönngt. These he then wore every day for all 42 years, but decided earlier this decade, they put away. After he had almost forgotten, much to him during the search for funding for Christmas again and he put them on Ebay for $ 9.95 (!!!) one. He only became aware of the auction, when they surprised a few days later it already stood at 30,000 on $, which for him was also the time to research something in more detail.
James Bond Rolex Submariner
As it turned out, the Clock was identical to the model that James Bond in Dr. No, Goldfinger and Thunderball had worn. This clock is like the Holy Grail for watch collectors, which manifested itself in the pleasingly high final sale price: it was $ 66,100! For the skeptics: This is the link to the auction .
I think: Well done, now it should probably work out with the Christmas presents!
