I wonder if Ellen DeGeneres will end up buying this for her collection.

Sticker on the back looks like it has been worn to hell and back. Does age do that to a sticker, on the back of an unworn watch sitting in a safety deposit box?

Wow.

This

Most definitely worn.

Very cool!

Judge · 25 January 2020, 05:24 AM

The question is....if that was you would you keep it or sell it?

"Unworn" means different things to different people - particularly on this site. Of course the guy put it on his wrist as would any of us so it's not like it was never worn. It just doesn't show signs of being worn - i.e. no wear is visible.

The sticker looks like someone went to peel it off and then decided otherwise.

samuel019 · 25 January 2020, 05:53 AM

Can you imagine how many dealers will be trying to find this guy???

Wow, what a story. That guy is about to get paid.

Swiss Mad! · 25 January 2020, 06:01 AM

It’s a great story,

he might not have worn it but someone has judging by the fading on the case back sticker.....

Very happy for the guy, and hope he gets maximum dollars for it !

......... but worn more than “put on wrist” and put away.

TimeToWatch · 25 January 2020, 07:03 AM

Great story. This guy is about to seriously enjoy his retirement!

Let's just hope this doesn't inspire more folks to treat their watches as safe queens.

Rebel · 25 January 2020, 07:04 AM

Wow.

startrolexendrolex · 25 January 2020, 07:05 AM

He should of just put the watch on the wrist after finding out the value. That would be funny.

Did the Roadshow team stick pins through all the paperwork?

subtona · 25 January 2020, 07:15 AM

Omg. That is an incredible good fortune.

I don’t believe the watch is unworn either. Lightly worn, but not unworn. Story makes zero sense, but a lot of $cent$.

The segment airs this coming Monday, in case you missed it, in the article

My son and I are shaking our heads on this one...WOW!

DVR alert for the upcoming Jan 27 episode!

Very nice!

I love the simplicity of the vintage Daytona designs.

Jackpot!

My wife was just reading this story to me and i told her they seriously low-balled him. I hope for his sake he doesn't just sell it for 400-500k to the first bidder. I'll get an equity loan and buy it from him right now for that lol, didn't the last one go for like 17mil? Or was that PN actual watch... but for real he's gotta be looking at at least 5mil with ALL the OG swag right?

dardeca · 25 January 2020, 12:23 PM

That watch looks amazing!
