Good grief, your finds are nothing like I come across at my local car boots!

I was going to whinge about how it's getting towards the end of the car boot season and so wasn't expecting to find anything watch related.
First item was this:
A little chest of drawers, very useful for storing movements. 6×4×21/2 inches.
A bit of French polish and it will look great.
Then a guy who sold me a longcase clock a few weeks ago turned up this selection of clock hands. Always useful to have:
Then found this little Chinese clock. Nothing special:
But then my eagle landed:
A little Swiss silver cylinder pocket watch
Balance is OK and both backs are silver.
But the real gem was this English cylinder:
By Gillam, Berkeley Square, London.
Hallmark 1828 !
This has to be my best find this year.
Solid gold hands, one piece enamel dial. Needs a glass and a bow made.
I was at the boot by 6am.
Look forward to a snooze this afternoon.

Will you be selling the miniature chest of drawers Brendan?
If it isn't rude to ask, how much did you pay and how much h do you expect it would be worthed once you've restored it?
Edit - I'm referring to the Gillam

Nice British pocket watch.
Maybe a quick trip down the Antiques Roadshow one day....
