A great treasure tale dropped on our desks about another person finding a treasure nearby.
An unnamed man found a Breitling "Top Time" at a garage sale in The U.K. for $40. While that price, by itself, is a good buy this man believed that this watch was worth considerably more.
This watch matched a model worn by Sean Connery in the James Bond classic "Thunderball." Could this watch be the very same model?
Using his own research and a confirmation from an auction house, the watch has been authenticated as 100% genuine.
The family selling the watch had a family member (now deceased) who worked for the movie studio that filmed some of the James Bond classics.
Some years ago, this watch went missing and somehow made it's way to the family who later sold this watch for $40 to a sharp-eyed buyer.
How did the current owner do on his $40 putchase? The auction house says this watch will sell for $90, 000 or more.
I can only imagine how many potential buyers walked past this great treasure. Maybe I should stop at more garage sales.....
Continue the search my friends!
All the best,
-Nathan
