Antique Roadshow find. Guy buys a Rolex in the early 70’s for $345.97 he decides it is too nice to wear so he sticks it in his safety deposit box. Finally pulls it out and takes it in to be appraised by the guys at the Antique Roadshow. Now worth between $500,000.00 to $700,000.00.
He paid about 1 months salary for it when new.

FIFY.
Also, not sure what $700,00.00 is exactly worth.

I like that watch, but my wife would be mad if I bought it without discussing it with her first.

Imagine if he’d have put that $350 into bitcoin back then.

Is this one of the Rolex models they gave to the astronauts?

I wonder sometimes what goes through someone’s mind to buy something like that and lock it away for 40+ years? Be it a nice watch or a muscle car or whatever else.
What really gets me thinking is how many other people did the same thing and whatever it is they bought didn’t appreciate. And how many absolutely worthless pieces of 50s , 60s, or 70s era things there are out there in mint condition.
Kind of thinking in the same vein of what if kids my dads age didn’t put baseball cards in their bike spokes as kids

My brother had a friend in high school who’s dad bought him a pristine Dodge Super Bee. He tore that thing up. Don’t know how they weren’t killed in it. Drove it for several years and sold it for a steal.
Looked just like this.

Hell, you could probably make a decent retirement by buying popular toys and other shite in your twenties, leaving them in the boxes and storing them for 40 years and sell them for a huge profit.

Obtuse1. He has the mack daddy of Rolex collections.

Right, but you’d have to buy the toys (or keep the super bees) that actually are desired and sought after in 40 years.
My mom has all of my toys I didn’t destroy from when I was a kid and I’m really hoping the Ninja Turtles pizza thrower, blimp, and van will be worth something in another 20 years.

Worth at least the same as a rolex already.
