Summary
A WWII POW secretly ordered a Rolex from Switzerland while imprisoned—delivered via Red Cross, paid for with honor after the war. The watch, a rare “bubble back” model, comes with documents and photos of the soldier’s brutal five-year ordeal. Experts say its history doubles its value, now worth at least £5,000—proof that some stories are worth more than gold. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
