$480.00 Vintage Rolex Antique Store Find!
I was out at a shop today and the owner mentioned there was a case with some Vintage Rolex Memorabilia I may be interested in.
So I went to check it out! This is what I found If anyone needs this ultra rare piece, I'll pick it up for you and only charge you a 10% finders fee.... |

The antique shop owner asked me if I thought it was a fair price...
And yes, I told her they can be had on Ebay for a few bucks. I still found the entire thing funny. |

Did you look closely? Very likely, it could have been carved out of a block of platinum!

Actually, you can buy a very nice vintage 30s -40s manual Rolex for that price. The autos tend to be pricier.

Glad you can all understand my dismay. I was all prepped to stumble into some vintage goodness and was shown this ..bleh
On the upside I picked up some great vintage fountain pens while I was there |
