i found a Rolex while cleaning a stadium like 22 years ago....it's a Rolex Oysterdate Precision. Someone dropped it and it looked a bit damaged....so i took for repairing i think i only resized the bracelet because it didn't fit me. My friend told me to keep it because he knew more about watches than me and he recognized the logo and said "Dude, keep it ...it's a Rolex" So i have never wore it again, i still have the watch...it is a legit Rolex because i can still wind it and it gets going again......doubt i'd get much for it lol but i like the watch. The owner of the shop where i took it to fix was gonna give me $1,500 for it but i didn't sell it.
