The guy said he had it serviced multiple times over the years. Did you even watch the video?

Restoring a vintage item, especially furniture and jewelry like this watch bring down the value quite a bit. Guitars are another item that is more valuable in it's original state, even if played over the years, than if it was restored to look like new. On one episode of ARS, a woman had this 18th century dresser that had numerous drawers and was tall. She thought it looked shabby because of the fading of the finish and she hated the hardware so she had it professionally refinished and replaced all the knobs ( tossed out the original ones). She inherited it from a relative. In its current condition it was worth $30k, only because of the rarity of the piece and it was a Chippindale. If she had left it in its original condition and didn't do a thing to it other than dust it off it would have been worth $300k. It was only one of about 5 known in existence.

He knows what he has. Don’t kid yourself

My point is there is no reason to buy a watch that costs this much as all a watch does is tell time. You are buying the brand , which in this case, Rolex, is boring just like Omega ...If you want to buy an expensive watch at least buy a Brietling Navitimer 01 at least it's cool to look at......and I'll leave that G Shock to my grandkids cause ya know what ......I bet It will still be working ...unlike that Rolex ....That along with my properties ....plural.....I'm sure he will be real happy just like that kid in Grand Torino 🤣👍have a fantastic day!

The lume insert from the second hand has fallen off and can be seen on the dial in line with the number 8 marker of the GMT. Crazy.

That "Golfzilla" polo is great ! :D

I inherited a DJ from the same period (gilt dial). Yes I did polish it, but couldn't care less as it holds more sentimental value and I can enjoy it every day.

I might be a pariah, but that is a watch and it's meant to be used, not kept in a vault; the owner has used it for 40 years, and it still works and looks beautiful - it has a history. For those reasons, in my opinion, a Rolex such as this one should be worth more than a similar one in mint condition.
