Sunday Car-boot sale for the rich?

This is the most amazing scene I have seen for the world of watches.

Dare I say, anyone may have more fun here than in Basel.

really cool and amazing... just like attending a major gunshow and someone has a prized winchester or the like for sale.

lol, on another note, reminds of someone in an overcoat who flashes their replica booty, lol.

Awesome - not too often will you see that many milsubs, PNs & early subs at one place. Those vintage panerai's look very nice too!!
It would have been great to be there. Thanks for sharing!
