Viewers including ourselves learned it&#8217;s important to keep the box&#8230;and your receipt! Peter Planes appraises a rare GMT Master Model Rolex in the latest episode on PBS which you can <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pbs.org\/show\/antiques-roadshow\/\">watch here.<\/a>\u00a0 The unsuspecting gentleman paid\u00a0$120.35 (\u00a397) (around $894\/\u00a3727, in today&#8217;s money) for the watch back in the 60&#8217;s in Germany as his sergeant recommended them them.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4035 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/rolex-GMT-1024x533.png\" alt=\"rolex GMT antiques roadshow\" width=\"838\" height=\"436\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/rolex-GMT-1024x533.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/rolex-GMT-300x156.png 300w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/rolex-GMT-768x400.png 768w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/rolex-GMT.png 1275w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 838px) 100vw, 838px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>During his appearance on the show he estimated the watch to be\u00a0 worth around $1,500 (\u00a31,219) and had a very detailed story explaining that the watch cost him a lot of money in those times, It was over a months salary for him at the time. They talked through all the items that came with the watch including the very detailed Rolex bracelet and right near the end told him that the watch is now worth around $65,000 to $75,000 (\u00a352,800-\u00a360,900).<\/p>\n<p>We think this was definitely worth the investment!
