A woman was shocked when she discovered a watch her dad bought for £20 is actually worth thousands. The woman brought the Second World War pilot watch onto BBC1's Antiques Roadshow on Sunday, April 2.
The episode - which was based at Powis Castle and Gardens in Welshpool - saw antiques dealer Richard Price tell the woman that the watch was a very rare and sought-after collector's item. He said: "It is a Second World War watch for the Luftwaffe used by the German Air Force during that particular combat.
"It would have had a massive leather strap that went around a big heavy flying jacket. The [face] is painted with a radioactive substance called radium. If you are going to take it apart, please seek specialist advice."
