I think they are similar to a "flea market" in the USA.

We don't have fleas in the UK.

Tombstone · 17 September 2007, 06:13 AM

a boot is the same as a car trunk so he was at a car trunk sale aka garage sale.

EvEr34 · 17 September 2007, 06:21 AM

I would say you did ok

Band Girl · 17 September 2007, 06:42 AM

So what is the reference number for this watch? Please let me know.

Thanks

SPACE-DWELLER · 17 September 2007, 06:51 AM

Well, let's say that you did okay under all circumstances

Nice joke!

It is from an auction catalogue ("Antiquorum").

"Boot" = British English for American "Trunk".

So a car boot sale is a sort of flea market where people would sell their personal belongs stored in the trunk of their car.

Just don't purchase any meat from a trunk sale. I've read stories... (shiver)

Reference 4113, split second chronograph, 17 jewels, 43 mm, Valjoux caliber 55 from around 1943, only 15 made.

My guess they would do 200 000 dollars at auction lol.

Welshy,...

Please tell us why you need to perpetrate such audacity?

walds11 · 17 September 2007, 10:11 AM

You wish!!!

Just one time I would like to find such a watch for 250 pounds that's all I am asking for

Rawhyde · 17 September 2007, 10:31 AM

My car has a boot! The stealerships and even the owner's manual refer to it as a boot. Likewise, the sheet metal you have to open to check the oil is the "bonnet". My car even has the optional "bonnet stripes". Check the avatar...

Welshie, since it's now even more used than it was before, I'll give you US$200 for that worn out and outdated watch just because I hate to see a fellow TRF Member get ripped off so badly.

Unless it's a similar watch and the image is not an actual picture of the watch itself...work with me here boys...

Welshwatchman · 18 September 2007, 04:48 AM

What?

You lot have no faith. Here's a wrist shot to prove it.

Now don't you feel bad for not believing me?

Next up I've got my eye on a Comex for £9.99.
