That smile blank - haired guy with the wine-colored drinking glass is Bob , a Navy doctor who put his ticker for sale on eBay for $ 9.95 . He got it garish at a Navy Exchange fifty - two class ago . The last auction price : $ 66,100 .
The reason is n’t that Bob and his watch got to party with Superman ( yes , that ’s Christoper Reeve ) . It ’s a lot better than that .
Soon after posting it in eBay , the Leontyne Price skyrocketed to $ 30,000 . After talking with his son , they found out that the watch was a collector ’s item coveted by ticker whacko all over the macrocosm : The Rolex Submariner Ref 5510 , nickname the Bond Rolex because Sean Connery wear the same framework in Dr. No , Goldfinger and Thunderball . Bob ’s Submariner is not the actual sentinel used by Bond , however . He bribe it on a Navy Exchange on a lose rock-and-roll called Kwajalien Atoll .
He ’s likely very happy with the cut-rate sale , but I ’m certain the purchaser is much happier : The same spotter with a unlike bracelet was sold for$100,000at an auction sale in 2008 . [ HodinkeeviaCrunchgear ]
