That news would knock anyone to the floor. (I've worn a plain old model everyday for decades. The only smart thing I've done is kept the box and papers. ::))

I have an old Timex, woman's watch, complete with guarantee, instructions, case, etc... Maybe it is worth 100's of thousands? No? Come on, it ends in "ex".  ;)

That is really great for him, though!
