People nowadays have different values than people back in 1915. Pocket watch value was life and death.

You helped me open 3 grandparents' watches. Nice clear closeups. Thank you!!

I have a watch similar to the middle watch. My father said the balance spring needs to be replaced but he was unable to find one. How would I find out what type of watch I have?

I have a 1942 Hamilton 992B labeled US Gov. It is in a stainless steel case with a canteen crown. Any idea of worth?

Very well done and informative video with lots of detail a lot better than one of those silent videos where it's all visual. Also I would make this tip even though I'm not the expert here I would recommend using thin piece of plastic or something in between your blade and your watch casing being gold silver or just some metal you'll have less chance of scratching it. I took a valuable watch to a jeweler and watched him try to open it to change the battery and bent the case right in front of my eyes. I was pissed. If you take your wants to a jeweler always inspect it closely in front of him or her when you hand it off ....but this is a great video

Thank you!

I found a watch that’s was really worn on the outside working exactly like this 5:10 it’s missing the button on the top that I couldn’t open for a long time but I just got it open idk if you know if a jeweler could fix it so the button at least would work someday or anything about types of watches all I have is a few numbers inside and the watch face says “Elgin Natl watch co”

I have all spare parts of Clinton watch

Thank you. This was an amazing informative video. And your voice is relaxing

Son unas joyas yo tengo 2 elgin uno de los años 20s de 17jewels tienen la corona y la base de la corona y la argolla igual que el Hamilton, pero las tapas son de rosca , y otro de 23 jewels como de los años 50s o 60s, saludos desde Tampico Tamaulipas México

Thanks for the video I just got my hands-on a 1921 box and papers included E Howard white gold solid.

I almost tried to pry mine open from the back 😂

Ok, I am trying to find out how to open a Longines pocket watch and it is none of these types.

you are right

Interesting observation. I've never seen Swiss fakes like those. Love your authentic Waltham's though! Beautiful watches!

extremely helpful and succint. thank you heaps.

How much would a pocket watch of this type be worth?

thank you!

can you say how to open a 1900 rolex?

I have a Bulova pocket watch 17 jewel adjusted 14 k gold filled 17AE Bulova New York company. It does not wind or run. I can still wind the hands around. I also have a Waltham railroad watch that works perfectly. I think it is an older one, maybe 1920s - 1940s. I wish I could send you pictures on here, but we can not. I have tried everything. I would like to know as much as I could about them.

Anything both real or imaginary has value, what an item is worth depends on which side of the wallet, your interest are, the seller or the buyer. If acquiring watches brings you joy, then your knowledge base must be ever expanding, prices are not fixed and will fluctuate over time to movement in the markets. I dont know how we would know how much gold was originally used to produce a watch, but that number would not be same today say 100 years later, with services, parts, wear and tear, short of a complete teardown, who knows. So first download all the hall marks from each respective country, marks different in every city, county and country. Those marks contain valuable information not just gold content. Thank you Polonius for previous information.

A ladder is more help..

Also new subscriber! Thanks for the great content.

Great video my friend!

I bough a pocket watch on vacation yesterday but i opened the cover with my nails not knowing it had a button to open it. Does this damage it?

All out of focus?

What is that small circle in the bottom of the watch?

I’m a complete newbie to collecting. Thank you so much for the valuable information. Question, is the number of jewels in a pocket watch important?

The watch at 6:29 do you know the crystal size ?

Thank you sir. I bought a pocket watch from a UK dealer, my very first pocket watch. I made tons of mistakes. I regret this purchase. Now after watching your video I have a decent idea of how to buy these beautiful watches. I hope to one day find a great watch.

Very useful, thanks soooo much!

The Swiss were invited to the Waltham factory to see how the mass production was done. So I guess it was the factory`s fault for having the Swiss check it out.

Go to pocket watch data base and pay to look up the value of Your watch . It was free and pisses me off that they did that .Could be some whinny beach caused them to do that . I get that some try to sell a watch for way more than it is worth. On the data base You can find what same watches sold for. I really hate it when they say it is a railroad watch just cause it has a train on the back. Come on man as Joe would say. I collect and repair all the watches I buy on E bay . Thirty something 7 years doing it. Not a single solid gold watch . I like silver actually .
