Antiques Roadshow guest in disbelief as damaged Rolex watch has huge resale value

An Antiques Roadshow guest was left stunned as his damaged Rolex watch was valued at tens of thousands of pounds.

The guest appeared on a recent episode of the BBC One show, where he had bought his scratched watch in to be valued. He had purchased the timepiece back in January 1982 after his brother suggested he should buy one.

Asked by the expert Richard Price why he decided to make the luxury purchase, he said: "I was aware that Rolexes made the best watches and my brother-in-law, who's now passed away, had a Submariner. He said if you're going to buy one buy the Sea-Dweller."
