It makes me want to put up my Grandfather's 1950's 6305 DateJust on ebay. Doubt I'll get $60k though.

the high bids were retracted, down to 31K.
Bob claims no knowledge of value initially, but ebay history indicates selling an Omega for $3000.

Great Return on Investment
Based on my calculations, Bob had a annual return on investment of 14% for the 52 years he owned the watch. Much better than the stock or bond market!

Still, 81 years old and posting your Rolex on ebay? Still unlikely, but more possible than a 91 y/o.

Agree

everyone.
