A Valuable Watch
Because the Rolex that David had was this particular Oyster variant, it was even more valuable than the models like Paul Newman’s watch. “They did that for an extremely short period of time,” Peter Planes said. “We refer to that as a mark-2 dial. And this particular model, being marked Oyster, is extremely rare. A watch like this at auction is worth about $400,000.” Peter could barely lift his head in time to see what had happened to David.
David In Disbelief
It was like a scene from some full-color version of a Charlie Chaplin movie. David appeared to be fainting, falling to the ground on his back and suddenly throwing his legs into the air, he waved them about a bit and then started to get himself back up again. A very concerned passer-by, and Peter Planes, assumed that he was really falling and came over to help.
