Air Force veteran, David, heard that the touring TV series Antique Roadshow was coming to town, so he took the opportunity to get his old wrist-watch evaluated. Little did he know that his 45-year-old Rolex had a value that, when he heard it at first, literally knocked him off his feet. How is it that David had no idea his watch was worth such a staggering amount of money?

Now, you would be forgiven if you thought that this guy must be rolling around in cash and living the life with a new Rolex on his wrist every other week. Not David though, his number came up when they were drafting young men 18-25 years old for the Vietnam War. They handed out tickets like a lotto, then they broadcasted a number and all the values below that number had to go off to learn to fight.
