James Bond's geiger counter wristwatch from Thunderball has turned up at a car boot sale following years of mystery about its whereabouts


.James Bond Watch Found At Car Boot Sale

The prop, one of the many gadgets used by 007 during his 50 years on screen, was key to the plot of the film as it helped the secret agent locate stolen atomic weapons during underwater scenes in the 1965 film.
The Breitling watch was picked up for £25, but is now to be sold by Christie's in London with an estimated price of up to £60,000.
The Top Time model by the luxury Swiss watch firm was the first watch Bond moviegoers had seen being adapted by Q's team of boffins in the 007 film series.
It is one of a number of items that are given to Bond by Q, who was played by Desmond Llewelyn, when he heads over to Nassau.
One of the hands of the watch shows the strength of radioactivity.
Sir Sean Connery, who played the agent, uses it during the film's famous aquatic scenes on a mission to find two Nato bombs that were stolen by the evil organisation Spectre.
