A former Navy doctor wanted to sell a few of these old Nippes and announced his Rolex on eBay for $9.95. The seller, a man named Bob, bought a Rolex watch where Kwajalien atoll a Navy Exchange fifty-two years ago and he wore it almost every day for forty years. He put the clock and forgot about it for a decade finally pulling it out to see if he could sell it for a little Christmas money recently.
He hung forget it and everything about it until the bidding started hit into the thousands. In the next few days he see it rise to $30 K. He spoke with his son, who discovered that his watch was the rare "bond" Rolex Submariner ref 5510, the same model Sean Connery contributed in Dr. No, Goldfinger, and fireball (trust me: If a clock dork, is this your Holy Grail). This particular model is the rarest and most sought after version of this watch. It should be noted that Ian Fleming was an Explorer.
The auction at $66,100, which definitely not bad for a watch that originally, the owner thought three days ago was closed in the value of $10.
The best part is Bob a complete set of photos the clock show in its natural habitat including, has inexplicably, at a party with Christopher Reeve.
