I can give you $50K for the watches if you include the vase you bring to the Antiques Roadshow.

That looks very similar to the one my Great Uncle hid when he was being chased by hooligans, thru the junkyard.......attached is a picture he took with his Kodak Brownie, after hiding the watch among some old engine parts, which I have then taken digitally, with my wife's sister's cousin's boyfriends Android Phone, which I unfortunately do not have access to any longer.....unfortunately he died soon after, and was unable to tell anyone WHICH junkyard he had hidden it in......

And as we are both in San Diego, perhaps we can meet up, so you can give it back.....

Add a coin (preferably a 2 pence) and Username in photoshop, or I'm calling this one a Fugazi!

Haha these post crack me up. The best is I got this watch at a police auction for 350.00 but I read it could be worth 200k. I'm too busy to get it authenticated, just too busy. Lol

The GMT on that pic did I buy from a guy named Chuck Yeager. I don't know if that affect the value but he was
a great guy to do business with. He told me some stories about missions the watch have been through but I
believe he exaggerated some.

Mine looks like that too, but it came to me wrapped in some wrinkly, stiff, yellowish paper with big loopy writing on it. There's a fancy D at the top and maybe a big letter I, and then it's signed by a guy named something Jeff something. Boy is there a lot of old junk here in Philly...
