Antiques Roadshow guest stunned that damaged watch is worth thousands

An Antiques Roadshow guest was left in disbelief after being told his damaged Rolex watch might be worth. In the latest episode, Fiona Bruce and the team visited Sefton Park in Liverpool where the treasures included a medal given to one of the first men to land on D-Day, a dress by Ossie Clark and spoons used by Captain Cook

One man brought in a Rolex Oyster Perpetual watch, The Explorer, which was given to him by his step-father before he died. After examining the vintage watch, horologist Richard Price estimated it would have been made in 1959.

He said the strap and the hands of the watch were most likely 'service replacements'. The watch also had a scratched face but despite its slight damage, the expert revealed it was worth thousands of pounds.
