Unexpected rolex chat

I was at a garage next to where we keep some car's today. When the owner said have you treated yourself? looking at my 216570. Yes last year, I have heard he likes watches so we got talking and he is a little out of what is going on right now ie new daytona and things.
But then he says hang on I ll get my watches.
He hand them rolexs and loads of omegas but had to go before I could take pictures.

I don't know about that. It was his dad's watch, when digital watches started coming out his dad put it away in a cupboard. Him and his two younger brother would steal it to wear for school lol. Then it disappeared after all three brothers pestered him for it. He told his son's it had gone to charity shop in an old coat. Then when garage owner (lol) got his first rolex gmt m ii (25 years age) his dad said well done now you have two rolexs, you are the only one to have shown that you were willing to go get your own rolex not just have one given to you.
