An Antiques Roadshow guest was left in tears as they were told the value of their late dad's watch
An Antiques Roadshow guest was left speechless after learning the eye-watering value of a beloved family heirloom.
"My dad passed away in October and he gave it to me a couple of months before he passed away. It means absolutely everything to me. It's part of my dad. It's a very, very special watch that is and it will be forever." His insightful commentary began with: "This is the Submariner date and it was introduced in 1967 and it had the word Submariner written in red, which is why collectors call it the red submariner."
Detailing the distinctive feature of the watch at hand, he explained: "But the important thing to see is that yours has feet first the first three dials, it was metres first and we refer to those as marks 1, 2, 3. The owners, however, was a mark four meaning it was the first of three different dials with feet first."
