JAMES BOND’S Geiger counter wristwatch from hit movie Thunderball has turned up following years of mystery after it was found at a car boot sale.

The prop – one of the many gadgets used by 007 during his half century on-screen – helped the 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.

Sean Connery, who played the agent, uses it during the film’s famous aquatic scenes on a mission to find two Nato bombs stolen by Spectre.
