Bob bought a Rolex Submariner Ref 5510 in 1958 because he needed a dive watch, and wore it constantly for a decade or so. He listed it on eBay recently, expecting to get a few hundred dollars. He was flabbergasted when he noticed the bids had risen over $30,000!

Thanks.

Great story.

I never realized that Rolexes were made so well.
