I thought it might be fun to do things the wrong way round and keep an eye out for the watch to accompany a box.
What would the contenders be, please? Can anyone tell the rough date?

Boot fair box - What do I ‘need’ to buy to go in it?

·This for example. 1960s Speedmaster. And starting with the Box is an interresting approach 😀

·If by ‘interesting’ you mean mental lol.
Ultimately, all goals are arbitrary.
I was hoping 50s Constellations wouldn’t have come in one of these, because that would rob me of the excuse to look for something new!

·Ha a great approach for rationalizing the purchase of an expensive watch to a SO.
"But honey, I already have the box taking up room. I might as well fill it"

·I've always been envious of the boot sales you guys have in the UK and throughout Europe. They look like a lot of fun.

GF made that. My 33rd birthday was a couple weeks after the PNPND auction. GF asked me what kind of cake I’d like. I said (half-joking) ‘can you do this?’ She did.

·Love the idea of starting from the box - a path toward a 2998 that I can afford! Starting from the box, next thing would be the hoop or cushion to go in it? From there maybe papers? Then finally a 2998, which by that time will be about 10,000x what the box cost 😀

Exactly my thinking. Emotionally commit by degrees.
Already been on eBay looking for a hoop thing.

But it'll all be worth it if I find one desirable vintage watch.👍

·Not really... Very muddy, cold, with bad tea, greasy burgers and grumpy people selling 'a load of old tosh' mate.😁

·Yeah .. boot sales are 'orrible. I strongly suggest everyone stays away. There's no fun getting up at 5am; driving to a muddy field; and, drinking terrible cappuccinos ...
You must be going to a higher class of boot fair...
...They have cappuccinos?!

·There's a chap with an old Citroen van that has a La Marzocco in the back. If you can find him, you can get a decent coffee ... all the burger vans just pour water over a packet mix
