Vietnam veteran learns his Rolex is worth over $400K
When it comes to watches, Rolex is considered to be the highest end. Often, celebrities show off their collection of watches. This is mostly common in the hip hop world, as rappers and athletes normally buy these high end watches. As a result, the average consumers now enjoy buying luxury watches. However, some people own watches due to the mechanics of them. A man who served in Vietnam owned a Rolex Oyster for years. When he decided to have it appraised, he was in for the shock of his life.
The Rolex watch was actually the first wristwatch to get the Swiss Certificate of Chronometric Precision, which is where the “Swiss made” phrase comes from. Now, most watches aren’t considered to be of quality unless there is a Swiss certification. For various reasons, the Rolex watch has been highly successful. The main reason for this is because a lot of people associate the watches with being on the high end, thus a sign of wealth.
One man, who happened to serve during the Vietnam war, owns a Rolex. He is the owner of one of the famous Rolex Oyster watches. The man ended up having his watch appraised and the situation was filmed. When the man had his watch appraised, the man appraising the watch said his watch is the better version of one worn in a movie. That watch was worth over $150,000. However, the man’s watch was worth over $400,000, which caused him to fall to the ground in shock.
