The first seller of the day, John, arrives with an assortment of military memorabilia that he inherited from his father, who served in World War II. As the valuers examine the assortment, tensions rise, and emotions run high. Will John's collection of wartime treasures hold significant historical value? Or will it be deemed a sentimental keepsake with limited financial worth?

As the day progresses, more intriguing items come under the scrutiny of the valuers' keen eyes.

David, renowned for his expertise in horology, examines the watch with equal parts awe and scrutiny. Is this piece a hidden gem that could fetch a handsome sum at auction? Or is it simply a beautiful trinket with sentimental value?

Meanwhile, a mysterious antique rocking horse captures the imagination of both the valuers and the audience. Its strikingly detailed craftsmanship and decades-old charm make it an item of fascination. Is there more to this humble rocking horse than meets the eye? And will its unique character translate into substantial monetary value?
