He took care of the watch for half of his life. And now, the watch is going to take care of him for the rest of his life.
-
Somebody’s retirement just became a lot more comfortable. Congrats to this gentleman.
-
"I said a watch LIKE yours." He delivered that line like a boss, this is awesome.
-
The man spent his time in service defusing mines and un-exploded ordnance. I could not think of a more deserving person to have this sort of discovery. Hats off! Happy for you and everyone you have had a positive effect on.
-
Seems like a chill dude who is still young at heart and hasn’t let life beat him down. Good on you, brother. 👍
-
What a respectful host as well. He lets the guest finish his story and about the watch, and closes it off by thanking him for his service.
-
Almost brought me to tears, it’s people like this that deserve wonderful things like this to happen to them. Enjoy life, my dude.
-
Am I the only one who is just as impressed by both the incredible physical shape of this man(who’s probably about 70 years old and can freely throw himself on the ground and get right back up), as well as his general disposition and lighthearted demeanor? It’s amazing. It is something one cannot place a price tag on.
-
I love to see a veteran that has good fortune go his way.
-
That humble Air Force veteran is a rich man - even without the watch.
-
This was absolutely one of the best antique road show clips of all time. Still gives me a lot of joy to hear his story.
-
He sold it for 1.3 million dollars.
-
This has become my favorite clip on the internet. Love seeing what appears to be a humble vet get the surprise of a lifetime. Just awesome.
-
The way he says "I'm not done yet" is SO boss level
-
I can't think of a better person to have acquired this watch than that veteran. Thank you for your service and enjoy your retirement.
-
The two remarkable Rolexes brought to the show with full paperwork, receipts, boxes, and even a brochure were brought in by veterans, purchased during their service. I hope those watches fetched a fortune for these gentlemen.
-
Is anyone else just over the moon happy for this guy? Something about him had me clapping by the end.
-
“Can’t thank you enough for bringing me one of the greatest watches to ever see on antiques roadshow, and thank you very much for your service” a nice touch.
-
it’s so beautiful watching the appraiser in the first couple minutes when he knows what it’s worth and is learning how much the guy deserves it
-
One of the best episodes of this program. I've come back several times over the years.
