Honnestly Jeff, I don't understand this... I guess that some guys would just buy anything at any price just because it's writen Rolex on it. Piece of history there? Even not that: The story following the watch wasn't even something special... No war event, no real action, no shrapnel scratch, no known name, no military serail number proving anything, no special engraving...
I know the value of history and love it.
I have a real Viking axe-head in iron who's over 1000 years old and who seen battle during invasions: Used by balled men who made history. I didn't need to pay this nuts price for it.
I saw superbe military Omegas from the WW2 who seen real action: Never reached this prices...
An original German pilot watch from WW2 is even rarer and more historical, still not reaching those prices.
Something's wrong there...
It's a matter of demand and supply. The watch (if it turns out to be genuine) is "worth" whatever the market for vintage Rolex Subs will bear.
