I like this thread, i thought about making one similar after Christmas. I don't collect watches but my grandfather died in 1994 and in his will, he left me, his oldest grandson his Rolex. I turned 30 last year and my grandmother and parents decided it was time to give it to me. I got it for Christmas with the case it came in but no paperwork for it. I googled everything on it looking for information about it and i found people selling it (im not, just wondering the worth of it) from anywhere between $18,000 and $5,500 depending on the year and condition of it. Anyways, finally getting it was a big deal for me and im proud of it.
