    Can anyone recommend any watch fairs in the UK that are worth a visit?

    I've only been seriously into vintage watches, well Speedmasters really, for around 18 months or so and most of my buying, reading and research has been done via books or online. I do go to antique fairs every now and again and come across the odd watch stall here and there, but I'd like to go to some dedicated watch fairs.

    Any ideas? Particularly in the norther UK.

    Haydock is down the road from me - Manchester

    Next 'Clock & Watch Fair is on the 22nd February 2015

    Shall we hire a charabanc, load a barrel of Marston's Pedigree, some Pork Pies, & make a day of it ?

    All Whippet's welcomed

    I suspect a date is pencilled in - Let us liaise closer to the time.

    Meantime, we can rake some brass together, count the shrapnel, check the bread & honey, & arrive with a well thumbed stack, of Lady Godivas, & Ayrton Sennas
