Very interesting short video.

I was wondering how an American intelligence officer convinced an Italian to "give" him a watch and binoculars?

Very neat!

Thanks for the lunch break video. Neat history it has.. Hopefully it's in the family forever.

I watched this yesterday and it was great, it was a Hodinkee feature and I hope they do more like it. What a story!

To answer the question of value, obviously to the family it's priceless. On the open market? These are so rare that one with that documentation and provenance it's worth whatever someone is willing to pay which would be well and truly into five figures. I doubt there is another with a better history than that one.
