I guess these watches WERE investments :D

Did he/will he sell it?? Cool story.

[HiBeat]

Very happy for this fellow.

Didn't we just tell a member here to wear the hell out of his NOS watch and not put it in the safe??? Look what it might be worth one day...I'm torn with buy and save or buy and wear. Happy for the guy and how this turned out...

Yes, a potential $500,000 growth on a $365 investment

Not many "I bought a Rolex for $300" turn out so well 😆

Not if you buy it from the AWBSS forum anyway...

If any of my watches are worth $$$ in 40 years it won't hardly matter as most likely I will have been dead for 10 years.

Awesome story.

I get watches for fun, not really as investments.  I also like to wear all of them, so they get wear and tear - but I also take good care of them.  They're for my kids someday.  That's just my .02.
