he spends more than a month's salary on a gift to his father.
Love this Man
And you can buy pepsi for 2 years salary now in my country 😂😑
Well I give like 30% of my salaries to my mother since I work it's been now more than 10 years I've finish school. It's an arabic thing we are a lot to do that.
Laci BH. Well you have an iPhonex Laci so calm down you’re probably better off than you’re letting on
That $120 today would be about $530. DO you think you could get a Rolex today for that amount of money.
@@bighands69
Rolex wasn't the premium brand it is today back then.
It was more akin to a Seiko back then that's why they were selling them in military stores.
Full credit to that guy's sergeant as well, his advice was spot on!!!
DrTenochtitlan I'm glad you mention this. It's the first thing of which I thought during the clip. We all receive good advice never taken. Thank you to everyone who tried to help me along the way.
If only he had told him to buy Gillette stock... He'd be much richer
He should of kept the second one for himself and gave his dad a kazoo instead...rookie mistake bro.
Jonathan K if he told to create a Facebook web he would be a lot richer
@@bravemonkey455 do you realize how much mint condition 1960 German Kazoo's are worth if they have all the original paperwork?
Dudes reaction was so pure, Almost made me emotional.
Right? Same here.
Zack Johnson brought a tear to my eye . Very happy for him .
Zack Johnson so happy for him
The fact that he spent a month's salary on a watch for his dad is what created his good fortune later in life.
Nice guy
Blockchain technology; a company that allow you earn mined coin on the bitcoin network without owning a Bitmain antminer, with such an investment you can definitely plan for the summer vacation.
Blockchain mining is exactly what every growing business needs. I would gladly pay over 2 million dollars for blockchain mining. The market is open for potential investors..
@@alexandrecoutinho397 same thing happened for me
Have you tried trading with a professional broker?
Investors are advices to trade with a professional broker.
"expert Mrs Maggie Grayson" she is really nice and Her strategies guarantees huge profit..
Bitcoin would hit $100k in the current Bull-run, it indicate new investors in the market.
"if you've told me $1500 I would have been happy" I'm just so happy no one ripped this man off
Funny thing is that the bottom of the barrel rolexs are like $3500 second hand... and that's like a basic 1985 datejust model.
@@OffGridInvestor It’s a GMT. Much more special than a Datejust.
Thank CHRIST he walked into Antiques Roadshow and not Pawn Stars😂
@@bigbowlowrong4694 Rick better be happy that his shop is in Vegas where there are a lot of desperate gamblers
In my country they would off ripped him.
Its good to know there are still honest people out there.
The fact that he bought a gold Rolex for his Dad was nice.
Great
I wonder where that gold Rolex is at. Like if if someone took it or something.
It was not a "gold" Rolex,it has some gold coloured plating on the wrist band, I know because I am his Dad!
chris bond you’re a fool
8BitGamer4life he said In the video that he still has it and they saw it, the watch just wasn’t featured on the show from my understanding
His sargent knew what he was talking about.
Right? I was thinking that may be what bro was reflecting on when he heard the big number. “I just made a purchase off of my boss’s good word when I was in my 20s at duty free boutique coming home from war”
@@elemes24 Coming home from war in 1960? He was just stationed at some US military base in Germany, that's all.
@@tarasb2242 You obviously don’t know that soldiers were transitioned from Korea, and Vietnam, to Germany, before going home. Your arrogance, and ignorance, just made you look like a fool.
@@tarasb2242 L
@@mrs.chandler9384 Well, my ignorance is endless, I'm not ashamed to admit it. After all, the more I know, the more I don't know. Is it some common knowledge that US troops went through Europe on a way to Vietnam and back home? Can you prove it to me somehow or should I take your word for granted? It just seems to me counterintuitive to choose such a route while Pacific ocean has less travel distance with a lot of US bases and without the need to cross other countries' sea and air borders. Beside that, by 1960 Korean War was long over, US intervention in Vietnam didn't escalated until Johnson took an initiative in 1963, and the man in the video was probably too young to serve as a military advisor in Vietnam at the time. And he also said "I bought it in Germany when I was in the army there", not "on my way back home". But, of course, none of that directly contradicts your statement, and I would be grateful if you'll kindly prove to me, a non-American, that US troops indeed traveled through Germany on their way home from their service in Far East.
the paperwork is worth nearly as much as the watch!
yes but that's if the watch is with it bro
Always save your documents kids. At least to things that have importance to you or value you never know it could be a huge game changer. Literally thousands of dollars of difference with and without the documentation.
@@amberslilrose3954 I'm always here!
I want his Sargent as my investment advisor
😂 Exactly! I’m guessing they are promoted for a good reason!
It's spelled "sergeant"
@Johnny Dong 😂
I dont. Had he invested the same amount of money in coca cola stock back in the 60's and sold now, without any extra invesments he would had made about 260k. Could still buy that old rare watch and have 200k in cash ;). Now imagine if he had kept reinvesting along all these years.
@@megapet777 if investing in right stocks is that easy, why aren't you a billionaire yet? Are you?
Owns a rolex but wears his casio, legend!!
And if he’d worn it everyday - no vintage no video no stupid remark about wearing Casio (which are nice btw)
I own a longines, but wear a casio 😁
Nothing wrong with a Casio! Nothing keeps better time! I'd still love a Rolex of course.....
Thats old school man. Respect
I don't even wear my Rolex, because I have a smartphone.
Obviously his Sargent was a time traveler
His Sargent was Doc Brown or Marty Mcfly!
Pretty good pun there.
Well ,on the face of it ,yes .
*SERGEANT*
His Sgt was John Mayer...
This is a squared away man. He took a month's pay to buy a watch out of respect for his father. Kept his own watch safe and secure during his lifetime and then gives a real and honest reaction to the unexpected appraisal amount. Much respect.
Love him. And YES, he still uses the N word.
@@communitycollegegenius9684 what
@@communitycollegegenius9684 you mean Nice?
@@brmbkl Ninja please.
He definitely didn't drink his entire salary like a lot of foreign troops did in Germany. Bought something beautiful that would last a lifetime.
Rick Harrison "best I could offer you is $100, I am making a gamble here"
"Its going to sit on the shelf for a while, you know..."
Hahaha
“$120 final offer...I gotta have it refurbished ans who knows when this will get sold”
Lol
His son is a worse cheat then Rick.
This has to be one of my favorite appraisals and reactions. It's always the people who are so genuinely shocked at their items' values that get me the most. He seemed like such a sweetheart too: he bought the watches because his Sergeant told him to! He also bought one for his dad! *love*
+Tony Yarzagaray I loved that one too!
seems like a great guy. cool to see people like this
spended all month salary on his dad watch!
Look up the carved jade bowl from China
As for the reaction... it's kinda scary for me.
I was thinking of an impending asthma attack or a heart attack.
Rick from Pawn Stars: I’ll give you 15 grand and I am taking a HUGE risk. I have to get a quality spit shine on it and I don’t know how long it’s going to sit on my shelf.
And he would have to get a expert to have a look at it. LOL
@@harryhunter114 And their expert would tell them maybe 20G if they had the change from the original purchase!!
Ya. Let me call one of my experts so he can come by. He knows everything there is to know about Rolex. (" that way we can really fu over!")😜👍
Rick would say I'll give you what you payed for it and I'm takin a big risk😂
He's such a shameless shyster.
This is officially my all time favorite Antiques Roadshow video ever! This sweet man spent a LOT of his hard-earned money on a gift for his Dad and one for himself. He had no idea what he was doing yet thankfully he trusted his Sargent's recommendation. His reaction was genuine and adorable. Speeches indeed!
He gave his Dad the cheapie. I wish they would have gone into that one. Maybe his Dad's watch is worth at least 10K. Probably is.
Did you see the Vietnam Vet fall down after they told him what his Rolex was worth, easy 2nd place...if not 1st.
It wasn't a sergeant that recommended the rolex, but he saw all the pilots wearing them. Good investment.
@@ChrisGageTX That guy flopped. Fake fall down.
@@tomdallas3690 yeah I agree but still a great story
The expression on his face is so sincere and worth a thousand words. That is truly a special watch. Congrats!

Adorable, made me get the feels
@Sloth h you sound like an incredibly intelligent person. only someone who is smart could have concocted such an insult as you just did.

Very heartwarming to see seniors like him get a win when it matters most
@gerald martinez dude died in December 2018.
You assume this guy needs 75k.
How ould you possibly know if hes down on his luck. Dude might not need a win at all.
👍. Ill always have deep appreciation and respect for these true americans.
gogreyhound 75k is 75k no matter which way you look at it especially since he spent over two months pay on it. It’s good the see the guy making such a profit after deciding to spend almost as much on his dad as well.
Hopefully he didn’t sell it to rick from pawn stars for $300
Could not have happened to a nicer man. Thank you for your service, sir, and congratulations!
"if you would have told me 1500 I would have been happy" many people in this world could Learn a thing or two from this man
reegs mattila agree ☺
Well, considering the cheapest, most budget, second hand Rolex you can buy is about $5000, it wasn’t going to be $1500 lol.
I would be happy with a hand made rolex from mexico 100 dollars hahahhahaha
About being ignorant? Sorry, but a google search could have shown the market trend that his watch was skyrocketing in value. I understand that being humble is important but he bought a luxury good, it should be important to understand its value over time.
Oh shut up
Let's be honest here nobody searched for this video.
I'm glad i saw it!
I actually just did 😂
Nope but now I want to see what happens after...
yeah hahaha
Let’s be honest you already read this comment from somewhere else 🙄
I bought a watch for $1 about ten years ago and sold it recently for $2. Not bad
Cool story bro
LOL double what u paid :P
the art of the deal
tdawg719 Lmao
Speechless on the double up
Videos like this makes me feel like crying when I look at my account balance 😢
With due respect, I feel insulted by your comment, my comment wasn’t intended to be a joke 😠
Oh my God, I am so happy to hear this here, I got introduced to Mr. Alberto some two weeks ago, it still feels like a dream, so far I have made over $7,000 trading with him, at this rate I am sure I am on my way to becoming a millionaire.
I will only accept your apology under the condition that you will introduce me to him and I too will start making profit
*"if you had told me 1500 I would have been happy"*
sounds like an honest sweet soul.
Like a stranded animal to the vultures lol
@Roger Daht
Most seniors don't believe the increase in value for something that was purchased within their lifetime. There was much skepticism ingrained.
To that point they really need to be educated. Otherwise they end up getting ripped off.
Some don't consider or think of themselves as older so how can something in their lifetime be antique.
He would have been satisfied with 1.500 USD. Imagine how many old people without knowledge of the value who´s been ripped off by greedy watch dealers!
Just like all those jewelery selling shows selling junk from asia worth nothing for thousands because poor old people suffering from dementia believe the greedy vultures on TV and think they buy some for their kids.
I read a story of a guy who's uncle sold a first generation all original Rolex Daytona for $6,000 to a pawn shop. In it's current condition the watch should have been worth $250,000-$300,000
Alexander Zamani Alaei just because they're old does not mean they've got dimensia.
The watch dealers make the market. Why are they greedy ? Is it because they make money ? Should they make a loss ? Most people are pretty fair.
Very true
This lovely gentleman deserved it! I'm so happy for him. And what a great watch, too!
Do you know him? Why do you think he deserved it? Because he spent a month's salary on a watch? Some of you just talk because it's free LOL
@@CharlieGV He deserved it because he's a good man that fought for our country!!! Humble, honest, and truthful, to say a few of his character. A man that stepped up to the plate so ones like all of us on here, like you, have freedom of speach, and state our opinion on here!! I too know that he deserves it!! And if I want to stand up for a soldier here or anywhere, I will do so!!!
@Great Life, Very well said, I agree!! 💜
@@CharlieGV Wow, such a shame to have a negative/cynical outlook in life. I agree with the poster, it seems that the fortune fell upon someone who truly appreciated it. Military man, humble (being satisfied if it was only worth $1.5K), respectful (buying the watch just because his superior told him to) and thoughtful (buying one for his pops). There's enough proof in the vid to enjoy it and feel genuine happiness for this man. Great for him. 👍
Am laughing 😂 hard
Rest assured that mans funeral is paid for.
Pawn shop: ill give you 30 dollars for it
Watch owner: wahhh but it's a rolex
Pawn shop: yeah but it's old
I gotta frame it, and it's gonna take up a lot of real estate, and I got staff to pay.
Youre not even that far off relative to the actual value of the watch. I work at a pawn shop and we probably would have started off at 3 grand and gone up to five if we had to

He has been rewarded for looking after everything so carefully.
Tony smith Can you imagine keeping an iPhone for that long? What an awful piece of junk that would be.
Anything IT based quickly becomes worthless.
Not true. Ever seen how high an original iphone goes for? An original mac? Countless other examples to prove your statement 100% false.
When I said that it would be an afwul piece of junk I did not mean that it wouldn't fetch a price, just that it would be an awful piece of junk. I mean, people pay thousands of dollars for out of print playing cards, that doesn't mean these cards are comparable to a fine piece of engineering like the watch in this video.
Just compare the amount of those watches made to the amount of i-phones made. You see what I'm getting at?
@Ryan Clemens, youre an idiot. the watch will always do its job after 100 years. A hard drive sometimes doesnt even last 10 years, its like buying a dead watch in auction. You are also making a bad comparison here because you chose macbooks, I will pay for a new mac over a shitty old mac which cant run shit any day. But i dont think you understand what a collectors item is.
Hats off to that man. Real stuff. Clutch move keeping the box/papers. Also, jeez dude who was his sergeant? That guy deserves much respect. Knew what the world would know 20 years in advance.
Dude almost stroked out when he was told 65k to 75k
edgar V - stroked out lol, good on this gezzer though we’ll played nice we earner in his old age

I was worried for him...
It's worth even more now 😂 probably in the 100 range easily
"If you would have told me $1500, I'd have been happy"

Its worth $65k why would he sell it to you for $1500? He said he would have been happy with that amount but he now knows its worth more

that's funny! I just ran the CPI number for july 2018 and it's a skosh over a grand!
Just shows you how badly rolex rips people off these days. They used to be affordable. You can get a perfect fake for about $500 tho..
johnny we think you could open a huge can o' worms around "affordable". I can afford a shiny new subbie. I can afford the shiny Navitimer I got in March. Most of the people I know would have a hard time finding them "affordable". THAT said, why would a sane person spend even $100 on a fake? You can get a lot of nice watch for $500!
Back in the 90s I had a supervisor who started wearing a Rolex. He said he and an old Army buddy had deal from way back when that the first one to make millionaire would buy the other a Rolex. A few weeks before he had a package show up in the mail no letter or anything with it, but it could have only been from the friend.
That's really cool, I wish their was more backstory on the army buddy though. Good of him to keep his word, even if it was a little bit of a humble brag :)

great reaction plus amazing watch
Yep, this is a great video!
Love the watch, it would be very hard to sell. I'd have a condition in the will that it was never sold
This veteran has one of the most heart felt reactions I have ever seen on this show. It almost brought me to tears!
Amen. A good man he seems too.
I thought the man was actually going to throw up.

Agree. 🙏
I've watched this one and the other vet's Daytona video so many times. It's always awesome to see kind down to earth veterans find out about their cherished item value

Good investment: Assuming he owned it for 50 years and gets $75k, he made about a 13.75% annual return on that watch.
Yes but he was extremely lucky to buy a watch brand and model which appreciated in value. In general watches are a terrible investment.
@@c0nsci0usness definitely not true. If you a classic swiss watch 2nd hand, it will perform similarly to a government bond. AP, Patek, and Rolex go up in value. They don't perform as well as art, but saying they are bad investments is easily proven wrong
@@gomasonpatriot1 But you cannot predict whether the watch brand will survive and whether the specific watch you purchased will be favored by collectors.

I am genuinely happy for the old man.

Rick from Pawn Stars: “best I can do is $500...I gotta buy a display case, restore the box.”
One of the many great things about this video is that he took advice from someone who gave him great advice not knowing if it was true or not. He must of respected him and to take such a risk and his boss must have liked him enough to give him good investment advice it clearly paid off.
That's why I am saving them Walmart receipt for my Casio calendar and calculator watch. Better than 401K.

great piece and great reaction. Thanks for the upload
$120 in 1960 after inflation is around $1,000.00 now.
At auction there’s a potential of around $60-70k ... not to shabby.
AS10 how do you work out inflation
tyvek05 you may be right, I got my answer through google.. but either way the gentleman didn’t do to bad
If it was a months Army salary to buy at $120, then accounting for inflation, at $70,000 it works out about 10-15 times a months salary now. Edit Which confirms tyvek05 estimation of $7,500 is the right ballpark.
@@DiscoFang To add to that, wages have not been increasing as much as prices have gone up, so in the 10-15 range it is probably much closer to 10. Which again means $7500 is probably close.
*too
I'm very happy for the guy, but I honestly can't understand the enormous monetary value that is placed on items like this. If it were a singular work of art in danger of being lost forever, I can understand its monetary worth would be commensurate with keeping it safe. But a mass-produced piece of jewelry? Even adjusted for inflation, this $120 watch would still have cost less than $1000 in 2016. However unique it may be, with all the paperwork and packaging, it just doesn't make sense that its value has now been magnified 70x.
Try wrapping your head around NFT's. I have a friend who sells colored squares for $1000's! I don't understand it at all.
As an avid collector, anyone who knows anything about Rolex knows this is an immaculate find. Some models can go for up to 1 million.
Many others may come and go, but Rolex remains the constant.
Everyone else in the world knows that will get more then $100k for in an auction.
Vincent Lopez looks like this was three years ago or more. Those have sky rocketed recently.
If you get the word out to the right people!
I found an example in better condition but watch only that went for close to 300k.
My thought exactly..this is way more than 75k
That's if the watch was new and not used and scratched up. In this condition its worth about 60k on a good day.

You mind if i get my buddy to come down and check it out?
"cuts to outside interview with seller" I'm glad they're bringing in an expert, I am curious to how much this watch is really worth.
"I'll do tree sevntee if it'll help ya out, but that's my final offer."
LiquidusSnakeX Chum has some paperwork for you to fill out...
Also I've never heard of e-bay or the internet.
Man..... Who else thought gramps was going to fold over from a heart ♥ attack when they revealed the Rolex's total value..??
Yeah man I shat myself when i saw his face
I just love this man! His genuine reaction. Him buying his father a gift worth more than his monthly salary. What a great gut!
He's a great man for sure, but how are you able to comment on his gut health? I've watched the video twice and have no indication as to how much fiber and probiotics he's getting...
Jimbo maybe hes one of those eye drs,,that can read your health by looking at your eyes.👀👀👀👀
He's probably thinking "How much coke and strippers can I get for 70k?'' 🤔
_If you would have told me $1500 I would have been happy_
*yeah that's what I said. Well gladly take this for $1500. $1508 with the box*
lol XD
You would be one of those lowlifes' who'd scam an elder person.
Don’t be a scumbag
Shame on you. Not funny.
I love his reaction. So real
My first casio from 15 years ago was $29.99 and now Walmart is selling the same ones for $9.99!!!! WTF!!!!!!!!!!

Is it the one with the built-in calculator?
He would've been ecstatic had he went and seen Rick from pawn stars then. He would've offered him a whole 2 grand!
I know few people today who could buy a new Rolex on a month's salary. Just shows how much the prices have increased over the years.
or maybe Rolex is just much more known now and charge more for their brand.
Its not the value of the product that goes up, it's the value of our money that's decreasing
Ken Shiro It's both brand value increaseing and money value decreasing. Value of money hasn't decreased that much, people don't get paid $70,000 per month in the military.
That same style watch isn't $70,000 today. It's about $9,000. So yes, in relative terms, the price of a Rolex has gone up but, it's mostly just that the US dollar has lost value over the years due to our shit government printing more and more money and therefore decreasing it's value ( 4 trillion in new "funny money" thanks to Obama )

This watch is extremely rare, it will fetch six figures all day at a vintage auction.
This vid was from a few years ago, prices skyrocketed more recently
@@cynister801 yes, And turns out that it did fetch six figures even back then. So the person that was appraising this for the gentleman was off by a decent margin
@@petrolo72 no
@@Stoney-Jacksman yes
No/yes?
Honestly here in 2019 it's worth even more than that now.
Takes the watch to pawn stars: Rick "best I can do is 500 and a bag of chips, I'm taking all the risk here"
Weird I mentioned this to somone a few weeks back.... 100k value and probably increased to about 125k now... Rolex themselves would buy this back
I almost cried when i saw the face that man made when he was told the price, Im very happy for him.
Anyone else wanna just burst into tears, knowing this man deserves every penny and more?
"Use box for cigarettes after removing this card and watch-support."
"if you would have told me $1,500 I would have been happy."
"How much did I say?"
"$75,000."
"No, no, no. $1500."
This gave me a really good laugh. Thanks man.
Lol Btw have you considered getting it insured? In the event its lost or stolen until you sell it? For 75000 only 199 a month its worth it ! Lol
By the time he realizes 10 years down the road nobody is going to buy it for 75000 hes paid around 25000 dollars to insure it
Heres my card ... Lol
Pays off when you do something for your parents... this great man bought his father a much better Rolex model than the one he bought for himself.
He deserves it! Great man! Love!
No he didn't
Did something for his parents and his country. Bless this mans soul
That was his watch the one for his dad wasn’t as special
He said his dad’s had Gold inlaid . Price being less or not I bet he bought him the prettier, or special watch.
When he wiped his lip, he was thinking “ Junior isn’t getting this” ..lol! Very happy for you sir, and thx for your service. 😀
That’s how some people think but that’s not how this man thinks. He would give his children anything because he loves them and they are far more precious to him than any GMT master.
He probably felt a new appreciation for the army after this.

Javier Cottle it’s confirmed enough people a disconnected past the point that a video needs to be in your interests. Just put it on any feed & guaranteed most will be so passive the just watched instead of thinkin “ wait, WTF is this for me? Ahh it’ll be over in a second. I’ll just wait. Too much trouble to move my fingers up & down rite now.
“ Veneer! ”
Let that be a lesson to all of you:...
hoard everything!
Either you’ll end up on Antiques Roadshow, or Hoarders!
😂😂😂
Guy: " I would have been happy with $1500"!
Me: ok, tell you what...Ill give you $1600"! 'I'm good like that".
I always remember this video and think about this man when I come across someone who "doesn't know what they have". In collecting (no matter what the hobby) getting a "steal" can be rewarding but look at this man's face, his reaction, his tears. Imagine him falling on hard times before this and putting his watch on Craigslist or something for $1500. In those situations you have a moral obligation to be honest and upfront with someone. Your humanity and their humanity is worth much more.
I love seeing this happen, especially with the veteran's story of buying it overseas. He was brilliant to keep all of the paperwork and original parts. Good for him!!
I just sold my fairly standard Pepsi GMT 1675 from 1976, no box, no papers, and it sold for $19k. This 6542 is probably closer to $100k in this market. It’s gone completely crazy.
Yup, its going nuts for Rolex today. They are limited supply to do this and I am happy about that!
can i have a few bucks dood pay pall me 75?
@@forminor101 lol
Got a two tone GMT rootbeer from 2018 baselworld at retail and its already like 3-4K up in value
If this man would have taken it to the Pawn Stars Rick would have offered him $1500 and he would have resold the Rolex for $70k
Ya more like $50, and Rick would be all like " thats the best i can do man"
This comment is so played out
