Should I trade my Rolex for TONS of watches?

[@sirthom3275]

No way in hell i make that deal. Literally trading a gold nugget for a bunch of rocks.

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

The watch was badly broken. And I got lots of gems in the box

[@MrOstefar]

I think you should do the trade. I think you can make more on the big lot, and the viewer you trade with will probably fix up the Rolex, so it can get new life. These cocktail ladies watches are nice but too bad in general they dont fetch big prices.

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

I agree, they are very rare. Much more rare than modern Rolex watches. They are really not as desirable as they deserve

[@jasonhughes3748]

Sorry I stated the obvious re the tag. Of course you always revisit watches of interest to inspect and review. Great find on the Ladies Tag Heuer from another video! A real surprise 😮 I’m a new subscriber and enjoy your content. New Zealand 🇳🇿

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Thanks so much. I was shocked that ladies tag was real

[@johanbertilsson2213]

You should do the trade. Vintage Rolexed can be expensive to repair. That much of watches should be enough fo you to get in black.

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Yes I agree, I was working on them today, and all the nicer ones work and don’t need much work

[@sarahvalley4]

For sure a good trade, I really enjoyed this unboxing video.

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Thank you so much 😊

[@jasonhughes3748]

I have a collection of tag heuer. The watch you identified as a Tag was not. However I still enjoy your content. 😊

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Hahaha thanks I realized once I looked at it, the watch is fake. I own probably 25 fake tags

[@519flips]

Pleaseeeee make a video how to polish the watch screen plastic ones not watch crystals seen that one

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

So you would like me to make a video how I polish plastic screens?

[@519flips]

@@vintagesterlingfinds yes please

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

@@519flips will do

[@HesAPooka]

I'm mixed. A lot of watches. Should get a decent return. Do you think youll ever want to try to learn how to fix watches? If so keep the Rolex. Other thing to consider is Rolex watches are going high and higher in value every year so even if you dont sell it now it will continue to appreciate.

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

I would love to learn how to fix them. But there’s a lot to learn. Also, they are going up. But the market for the ladies ones has always been soft

[@519flips]

Omg the talkboy if works easy 200$

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Yes and it does work, I tested it

[@amritangural3789]

I think you should keep the rolex. its not everyday we find rolexes in the wild, considering you didnt pay a bank for it, itll be a cool souvenir to say that yes ive found a rolex in the thrift. Money aside, its a cool trophy, we can always make more of it but a rolex? nope

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Yes that’s a good way to look at it. Honestly, I have found 4 in the wild. And a couple tudors. So I’m not as emotionally attached to it

[@amritangural3789]

@@vintagesterlingfinds that's awesome, hope you find better ones in future🤙🏻

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

@@amritangural3789 thanks you too

[@Kev-N42000]

I’m Wondering if the Seiko that’s Inscribed on the back , “1979-Marathon” if it has anything to do with Terry Fox 🦊? , if anyone knows more about it , I would like to know, the watch looks well Worn. I can’t seem to find anything about it or about the marathon , over 20 years of service?

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

I agree, that’s a strange one. It could be for something like the sun run or a work marathon

[@Zothar84]

I’d trade Charlie if. You get a better deal than the Rolex is worth

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Thanks Jordan, I did the trade

[@JJs_Horological_Collection]

Which seller do you buy from for the Watch straps on Temu? The lowest price I’ve found is 83 pence (GBP)

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

I have bought from lots of them. They are all good

[@davidfoye7619]

Seems fair

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

I agree, I did make the trade

[@-DarkFox-]

Bro... Do NOT make that trade

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

The Rolex was badly broken and I got a lot of nice watches

[@shanereid5663]

That’s a lot of watches, should keep you busy.

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Hahaha you have no Idea. Even for me, this is overwhelming. Today I will go buy around 100 batteries

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Not to mention I will need around 20-30 watch straps

[@lawrence-ec5dm]

Definitely no.

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Good to know

[@candidcamel]

Looks like a box of junk watches to me.

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

@@candidcamel a few good finds

[@johnemerson5383]

The bloke sent you a lot of watches but gee there's also a lot of crap. Did he just buy 10 bags from the Charity Shop? You'll probably make a reasonable return on them all but it's going to take a lot of effort fixing them / putting new batteries in them and then list them for sale.

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Hahaha I think like 20 bags from the charity shop. I have put batteries in some and most work. I am fast at changing batteries and listing them. I tend to do better with a bunch of watches then 1 watch
