    Last car boot of the year maybe? - Seiko

    Braved the cold today to go to my local boot sale, found a brace of Seiko from a new attendee, now, these were not boot sale cheap by any means but think I did ok, the 1995 era 7T32 has its booklets and the 7006 is in remarkable condition for being a 1973 ( June ) it even has the remnants of the case back sticker, the beads of rice bracelet is lovely ( and quite sought after in itself ) , the seller also has the original boxes at home that he is going to post to me which will be the icing on the cake, sometimes you just have to pay up, he's a house clearance guy so hopefully a good relationship can be made for future.
    The other 2 pendant watches, a Smiths and a Elgin were too pretty to leave for a pound each but will go in the watch drawer with all the other bits and pieces.
    Pretty pleased.

    Cheers..
    Jase

    Love that 7T32, gorgeous piece. May I ask how much you paid for it?

    Just over £50, which isn’t too bad with box and papers.

    Great finds Jason, sounds like a good deal on them too.

    Long time since I went to a boot sale round here, most of it is either junk or trade stalls. I think most people here are using eBay for anything remotely worthwhile, sadly, as I used to enjoy the rummage on a Sunday.
    Best Regards - Peter

    I'd hate to be with you when you're on your own.

    Great finds Jason ..... I know we both love a car boot ..... My last one today( on the fields ) in Colchester BUT the hard standing one just down the road is really picking up . This will run throughout the winter ....... weather permitting!
    Had a few good finds this year at the antique fairs / car boots.
