An Air Force veteran in North Dakota who spent a month's salary on a fancy watch while stationed in Thailand in the 1970s decided it was too nice to wear and kept it in its box. He was floored to find out that his Rolex Oyster Paul Newman Daytona is now worth up to 2,000 times the $345.97 he paid for it in 1974, Hodinkee reports. In what Antiques Roadshow says was its biggest find of the season, the man dropped to the ground, grinning, after appraiser Peter Planes told him that a similar watch could fetch up to $400,000 at auction. After he got up, Planes told the man that because his never-worn watch still had all of its documentation, including a warranty card that was never filled out, it could be worth up to $700,000. here

Possibly his friends ridiculed him when he bought it.

I used to watch that show all the time. I loved to see the look on people's faces when they realized that piece of 'junk' was worth thousands.
