It was pretty disappointing ( again ) there were some nice vintage watches there, for crazy money, a lot of dross, a lot of clocks and lots of gray beards. I did have a cheap pick up though, which worked out nicely, but it’s nothing special. I’ll take a photo.
As ever, the best bit was catching up with Derek and Rob.

The only thing I picked up was this old 1970s Citizen quartz Crystron, great condition, lovely blue face and hooded lugs, non running but was fine with a new battery.
Nice quality watch for a fiver.

With regard to another thread on here, this really does confirm your WIS status.
Nice one.

Really good to catch up with you both today but as Jason said the majority too expensive
A antique jewelry and watch dealer that I know came along , his first time I think and not impressed , he thought it was very overpriced and remarked that it was retail prices plus a bit more .
