I need to find such a watch, but I’m not nearly as kind as that guy so I wouldn’t donate it. ;-)

Good for him.


Better this happen than the stories we don’t see- the old man who is approached by one of the owners of a popular vintage Rolex website. Offered $500 then posted for sale for $40000. Happens frequently from what I’ve heard.

Not really a 'barn find.' He was the original owner.

Good for that guy!

I bet that this is Zack somewhere down the road.
