:shock: youre obviously going to better garage sales than me
This is my today's find at a garage sale in France,
what do you think of that ?
This Seiko 7A28 - 701A as the same 15 jewels movement as the military RAF chrono,
it comes with its original "speedmaster" bracelet;
the dial has a very nice military looking...
...but please look at the back where I was surprised to find such a marking !

Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
You know, most time it is like a lottery,
I only post when I find nice things but many times I find nothing !
This summer I also found a beaten no brand GSTP pocket watch, but it very very poor condition...
;)
Great find 8)

Real nice mate, cracking find!
All they seem to have at the local car boots round here is fake rolexes.
Where is this garage?
I tried car boot sales for a while a few years ago. Came away with nothing decent apart from a good sand wedge!
Thats a seriously good find !!
As stated already your garage sales are obviously much better than ones over here.
What say,beautiful watch.
Why I didn t hawe lucky like you?
:roll:
Good catch mate! I like a garage sale :D
Blimey, excellent find. Smashing photos too.
Very nice. Great find
An incredible luck, congrats for the find! I found my 7a28 accidentally in a domestic auction website for 35 GBP(abused, no bracelet, missing chrono pusher , but still it's a steal).
Like it - be really interesting to find out what the helicopter engraving actually means. Never seen it before.
in the age of Internet, I can't believe there are still good finds at garage sales
On sales old people hawe lot of things,lot of watches with low prices and if you hawe lucky you can find nice old watch for good price (Zagreb-Croatia)
Outstanding!
Round these parts any such items are hoovered up in a micro second by the army of dealers that target any kind of sale with military precision
Enjoy wearing it - its a great looking watch
There are still lots of things you can find if you have a lot of patience and do a lot of hunting.
You have to look at a lot of rubbish before you find a gem, but the fun is in the hunt.
Great watch OP.
Nice, man. Let me know if you want to flip it some day.
Nice one!!
The helicopter engraving really lifts it above the norm ( no pun intended).
