Fieldings watch house record is a gentleman's 18ct Rolex Oyster perpetual cosmograph Daytona wrist watch, sold for £16,000 hammer.

Nick's dream find - he would love to find an original 1970 Tag Heuer Monaco. This watch is so iconic and was worn by Steve McQueen in Nick's favourite film of all time Le Mans. He has sold so many modern versions of this watch, but finding an original would be amazing.

Nick's most memorable find - a stainless steel Rolex Oyster Perpetual meters first Submariner. Here at Fieldings we sell a lot of Rolex watches, however this particular one was unique. It came in on a regular Tuesday valuation day and had been worn a handful of times and still retained its original box, papers and receipt from 1967. It went on to sell for £14,500.
