2. Omega Speedmaster watch
This early 1960s Omega Speedmaster comes for sale at Aston’s in Dudley on June 11.
It was consigned for sale after auctioneer Chris Aston met a guest at a wedding in Annecy, France, and commented on his wristwatch. Surprised to learn that his inheritance may be of value, it was later consigned for sale with hopes of £10,000-15,000.
The vendor plans to get married himself this year and is hoping to raise funds.
