Buddy Holly's watch fetches $155,350 at auction

(DALLAS) A woman who says she's a "tremendous" fan of Buddy Holly has bought the diamond-studded watch he was wearing when he was killed in a plane crash in 1959.

The watch sold at auction over the weekend for more than 155-thousand dollars.

Holly's wife gave him the watch as an early Christmas present. It's inscribed "Buddy Holly 12-1-58," the date she gave it to him. It was recovered at the crash site. Later, Holly's father wore it in honor of his son.

Also sold at the auction was Holly's passport for 26-thousand dollars.
