Solid 18k gold watch found in broken watch bag

[@yaakovhassoun8965]

it's nice that he can look at what's primarily junk and see value in it, and make a living doing so

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Thanks so much. I was doing this for 5 years now. I also have a 9-5 job. This is my hobby

[@sketchpalosotherchannel]

That Avia is actually not running, you're just shaking the balance wheel. It needs a cleaning and from your description possibly a new mainspring.

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

@@sketchpalosotherchannel yes you are right. In the videos in can be hard to tell

[@JJs_Horological_Collection]

These Swiss gold watches weren’t usually marked with the makers name as they were usually just supplied to the manufacturer of the case so the manufacturer of the case could sell it as a watch

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Your right, but in this case the watch was broken so I scraped it

[@philtowle4683]

Love the led watches, I have a newer one but would love one from the 70s. Saw the movement for one in a joblot last week but couldnt stretch to the price and didnt really want any of the other items.

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

They are so hard to work on I would pass. You really need to know what your doing to fix one

[@DaliwolfBacon]

Great score on the scrap gold watch!

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Thank you

[@thomasflynn5366]

The Timex you said was from the 60s is actually from the late 50s. Even cooler.

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Oh wow, I didn’t have time to research it, but I will better

[@joelsnowden8887]

You need to investigate that watch more take to a jeweler to identify what brand it is!!! When you opened it up I was surprised it was mechanical and not battery operated. It looked like it was put together well.

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

True, a lot of jewellers charge for that service. And charge huge fees. I’m trying to find a good jeweller

[@Kev-N42000]

It’s too bad about the 18k watch ,it could be fixed but but it’s probably worth more as scrap unfortunately, if it were my watch tho I would try and fix it. , I like the look of Hamilton parts watch

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Thanks there was just too much wrong with the watch to try and fix it. Also it looks like someone messed with it because tons of screws were missing on the inside

[@dennisallport5704]

LED...not LCD. LED is "Light Emitting Diode... LCD is "Liquid Crystal Display". Just trying to help, no harm meant.

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Oh thanks so much. I did not know that

[@philtowle4683]

As you are looking at these inexpensive watches a breitling ad comes on

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Hahahah a lot of my viewers own expensive watches

[@petersutherland2075]

looks like a pocket watch the 18k one......great content as usual.

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Thank you, I think it was 1920s that akward eta between pocket watch and watch

[@Joe-yi8xj]

The white Casio is like $16.88

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Hahaha I sold it for $20

[@greamepenney5947]

I'm confused not being a Canadian or American but do you pax sales tax on second hand pre-owned items . The confusion is was not the tax payed when the item was sold new ,so the tax was paid ,so how can there be tax on the same item again. Can someone explain this or am just mistaken.

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Hahaha yes unfortunately I’m my province of Canada we are taxed again as used. To the government a sale is a sale and condition is not an issue

[@diamonds3958]

i used to have two of the led watchs took alot of voltage to light the early leds. Sadly both i dont have anymore.

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

I have a timex similar to ur mens timex mine only runs for like 5 seconds then stops

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

I tried this a few times. Take out the movement and dip it in rubbing alcohol. Works well

[@thomasflynn5366]

@@vintagesterlingfinds lighter fluid ( naptha ) is better than alcohol.

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

@@thomasflynn5366 right, I have never tried lighter fluid

[@Kev-N42000]

@@vintagesterlingfinds I got my omega pocket watch running good now, I used Brake cleaner to flush out any debris, then I sprayed the movement with Kroil, Let the movement soak it up for a bit, then gave another quick squirt of brake cleaner to flush out some of the Kroil , but not too much brake cleaner at the end because I wanted it to still have some Kroil for lubrication left on the movement, it’s definitely not the proper way , but the watch is working great now. I remember my grandfather used to fix watches with lighter fluid

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

@@Kev-N42000 wow I have never used brake cleaner or Kroil. Next video I make about Timex I will try lighter fluid. Hopefully get some working
