Zach Norris said he was looking for a pull cart for his golf bag at the Goodwill store on 43rd Avenue in Phoenix when he recognized a $5.99 watch as a rare 1959 Jaeger-LeCoultre diving watch.

He said only about 900 of the watches were produced. Norris said he was able to sell the watch for $35,000 on website Hodinkee.com and the buyer even threw in a $4,000 Mega Speed Master watch. Norris said some of the money will be donated back to Goodwill, and he and his fiancée have plans for the rest. "We are planning a wedding," he said. "We've been planning a wedding for a while, but now that we have the extra funds we're going to go ahead and start taking care of everything. We're excited."
