A loyal watch enthusiast was astounded during an episode of Antiques Roadshow upon finding out the eye-watering value of his Rolex, which he had worn every day for half a century.

The owner came onto the renowned BBC show with his prized Rolex X Tiffany watch, bequeathed to him by his late uncle back in 1975.In conversation with expert Peter Planes, he recalled: "He purchased it at Tiffany's New York ...

right before I was going to go to college, he noticed I wasn't wearing a watch on my wrist so he took it off his wrist and gave it to me."Despite years ticking by, the guest admitted: "I've never taken it off, I've worn it almost every day."—a sentiment evidenced by a distinctive tan line on his wrist showcased on camera, signifying his profound bond with the timepiece.

When discussing upkeep, he talked about visiting a Rolex dealer between "18 months to two years ago" but chose not to pursue a full service due to its invasive nature.
