I'll be either going by motorbike but if the weathers crap I'll be going with a friend who has a stall as it's a 300 mile round trip and I don't fancy getting soaked. Bonus is I'll be there at 5am
Sure thang. I'll know what I am doing tomorrow whether bike or all day so I will let you know. I have not got oodles of wonger folks so don't worry I'm not going to clear the gaff out before you arrive! I'm just going to buy all the 62mas watches that are £5

If you do come can you bring me one of your 6309-7040 domed AR crystals please?
Well I'll be getting no bargains! Just found a whopping 6" nail through my rear tyre. Went to get some juice and I saw sparks flying as the nails hitting the swinging arm!!! Looks pretty but not much cop on a 300 mile trip. Cars engines out too as I was doing a few tweaks and adding a tubby Enjoy your bargains chaps!
Enjoy your bargains chaps!
Didn't see much in the way of real bargains but it was good to catch up with JB and Barry.
John picked a bargain bag for a tenner which had a fully working seiko moonphase inside (jammy git)
I had this 6117 worldtime for 60 quid

There were a few 6139s there but most weren't resetting to zero and prices were too high when you built in servicing as well.
All in all a nice morning out - especially as it's only 30 mins from home!

Nice! Love my world timer. Glad John picked up a bargain too
A pleasant morning out and nice to see you guys.
The bargain bag worked out pretty well as a couple of the cheapy watches fired right up with a new battery and a couple of the kids had them and were happy
I got a A158-5050 that lit up with a new battery so that was a little result, the next one was a Citizen Chronograph Dual Time in really nice condition but this dident fire up with a new battery but I don't really know what the correct battery is, anyone ? ).
Finally the 7A48-5000, this was running and just needed the chrono sorting out, when i got it home i stripped it and cleaned it, this was one of the dirtiest watches i have touched in a while, inside the clasp there was about a 1/4 of a tea spoon of gunge and when i removed the bezel to change the crystal that was gunged up as well, on the plus side i think gunge does tend to protect watch surfaces bracelet had three links tucked into the clasp so well over size for me, new gaskets and running like a champ.
