SSTEEL Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Pardon my American [censored]....but what is a "car boot sale"? Its like a flea market. People sell things from the truck of the vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceejay Posted May 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Sorry for the dupe guys, Hike, a car boot sale is where you fill up the boot (trunk) of your car with your old junk and go to a pre arrange place to sell it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panerai153 Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Guys, I believe that the "Car boot sale" is a bunch of hokum, right up there with Liz Taylor had an alien baby and Adolph Hitler is alive and well in Hoboken NJ!!! Here is a link to a thread on WUS that was posted last week with some good photos of the "Geiger Counter" watch. I read the entire thread, and there was never any mention of a sale like that. It was in fact gotten from Pinewood Studios, where it had probably languished for many years in the prop department. The guy who posted this thread has been a long time WUS member and I would think pretty reliable. http://forums.watchuseek.com/f325/original-screen-used-thunderball-geigher-counter-watch-found-862707.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
