Yo! People are harsh. I love listening to "your boy, Vintage-Sterling-Finds." Seems cool, courteous, humble, up-front, and definitely knows his stuff when it comes to watches - like any watch ever made. He rocks and makes me laugh a lot. :)

Make sure you include a movement shot in the listing for that Arnex pocket watch. It’s not super valuable, but Arnex did use quality movements in most of their pocket watches from that era. There’s a good chance it’ll contain an ETA/Unitas 6498, a great workhorse calibre!

Does fully wind watches can be fixed?

Yes, fully wound watches can be fixed if you are willing and want to take the watch apart, clean it and oil and reassemble.

Great score, I just bought a bunch of watches but the previous owner must have had a very small wrist as all bracelets are short.

The first Timex is a radial dial Mercury with the original band. The second one is a desirable Marlin. I think that Caravel is a men's watch. They wore them smaller in the 50s.

No way in God's green earth you're getting $500 for that Arnex. That's a low-grade Unitas 6498 movement. They were stamped out by the hundreds of thousands. I'd say $200 tops. I wish you luck though.

Video is not showing the brand names of the watches properly. You can hold the dial for 30 seconds in front of the camera so that we can know the brand name.

Why don't you just unwind the ones that are fully wound?

@kevinbaker4907 Ай бұрын

A question I was going to ask, ie push back the ratchet thingy (click and click spring? ) and allow the main spring to release it's tension/compression. If wound to the max and lacking lubricant or corroded/rusty does the spring just wedge against itself with it's own tension/compression and friction?
