One guest on was left speechless as his beloved item was valued, with the crowd around him erupting into a round of applause. In a recent repeat episode of the BBC show, where guests bring their family heirlooms to be valued by antiques experts, professional Richard Price was asked to assess a 1960s Rolex GMT-Master watch at Brodie Castle in the Moray area of .

The BBC guest told the tale of how he came to own the luxurious item, telling the jewellery expert that he inherited it from his uncle, who he thought most likely received it as a gift in the sixties. He had owned the item himself for the last 32 years. Richard was impressed with the timepiece and shared his knowledge about the item. He quickly spotted the specific model on the dial, important to note for this watch brand as he informed the item-woner: "All Rolex collectors refer to these things by their reference number."

He added: "It's the reference 1675, which is the classic GMT-Master. When you said sixties, I think we could fairly safely say 1960 to 1961 so that all fits in."

Richard also noted that the watch had been unaltered after inspecting it further. He said it was a rare outcome, as watches are often modified when their owners take them in for servicing.

"They would've changed the bezel and they would've changed the dial with an upgrade," he explained. "You would've had it back thinking, 'Oh, it looks new.' Collectors hate that. It's absolutely original - spot on."

However, there was one downside to the watch as Richard took a look at the strap. He noted that the timepiece had a strap in Rolex's five-link Jubilee style, as opposed to the brand's iconic, older, three-link Oyster design.

He explained: "It's a , of course, but it says 'Made in the USA'. So, perhaps [his uncle] specified that he did not want the Oyster bracelet, he wanted a Jubilee bracelet, and they put this one on for him." Richard shared that the strap "detracts from the watch's value a little bit" as he guessed it would alter the price by "a couple of thousand pounds".

But that didn't mean a bad outcome for the item-owner, as Richard expanded on the valuation. He estimated that the watch would have cost around £300 to £350 when the guest's owner bought it back in the sixties. The expert now valued it as being worth a staggering £12,000 to £15,000.

The owner was left in utter shock as the crowd broke into applause. He exclaimed: "I can't believe that, can't believe that."
