Ww2 watches found in mystery watch deal

[@firefly17292]

Thank you enjoy your videos, interesting, where do get all your bands and straps from?

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

@@firefly17292 mainly Temu and eBay

[@barryfleischer6553]

In my opinion you can't beat the look of the dials on vintage watches. Although some of those look like they survived an airplane crash, unfortunately not the person wearing it.

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

I agree. I always leave vintage patina on the watches. It gives it a classy look

[@siloorphialeolee9008]

Your etsy store is so beautiful!

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Thanks so much

[@JJs_Horological_Collection]

Can you make a video opening some of the more mechanical older ones so we can see the movements too?

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Sure I can do that

[@JJs_Horological_Collection]

@@vintagesterlingfinds cool thank you!

[@mckiki4029]

If it’s a Ronda then you should be fine as it is a Swiss movement - Victorinox tend to either use Ronda or ETA movements, so I reckon it’s good!

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Ok thanks. I agree. The other Victorinox watches, have always had ETA so I think that’s why I questioned it

[@philipstephan5451]

How did you say i could get a hold of you? I would be interested in the victorinox watch at a decent price. I would then try to find a case back for it then. Ive always wanted a swiss watch but cant afford them. This would be the only way to aquire a decent swiss watch. Please comment back. Thank you.

[@Quiparounddreams1999]

So question. The mechanical ones. So you sell them as is or do you attempt to service them yourself?

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

I sell them on eBay as lots. My skills are not good enough for a full service

[@ElderPinto254]

30 jewels in a handwinder thats a good one ... very nice haul...

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Thanks

[@notorious3602]

The cost fixing those watches far exceeds resale value

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

I fix them my self. It’s more of a hobby

[@reecelieber5709]

I was wondering where you buy these huge boxes and how much they cost on average.

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Either Craigslist or fb marketplace. Sometimes garage sales and thrift stores. I usually pay $100-$200

[@onthewrist5006]

Ohhh that Mido! Great find.

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

@@onthewrist5006 thanks so much

[@frostyfrog3572]

Do you ever keep some of the watches to wear?

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Of course, my favourite is Seiko and Timex

[@Mizai]

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

@@Mizai thanks some in the lot are fairly high end

Black Ice is a beer made by Molson Coors Canada.

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

@@frecklefingers ok thanks I didn’t know that

[@rogerbrett-freeman5411]

Are the 'black' watches by Carling? Roger in London

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

It is not. It is a Fremes

[@chrissie-boy1964]

@@vintagesterlingfinds , promotional watch for Carling Black Label beer

[@Charleslife07]

What do you do with the China and invalid watches?

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Generally price them cheap and sell them at a local flea market

[@chuckcasale-tb9zg]

Program would be better if you slowed down and showd the watch to the camera, straight away.

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Thanks. I will try and slow down. It’s a fine line, as I don’t want the videos to be crazy long

[@krijashan]

Mido are good Swiss watches. Brand is better known outside of North America.

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Thank you, I have found that with a lot of watches

[@HesAPooka]

You should post screenshots of the fb or craigslist posting at the beginning of these videos. I've seen other people do that when they post these types of videos for credibility reasons.

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Not a bad idea, I may start doing that

[@Leety-o2j]

That was a nice box of watches and you got it for good price.

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Thanks so much

[@Ddcola753]

Mido .. remember that next time. 🎉

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

@@Ddcola753 right now I know

[@veryfastdentaldrill503]

You should consider learning to service watches. Would be super nice.

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

@@veryfastdentaldrill503 thanks I’m working on getting the tools I need

[@shanereid5663]

A good amount of mechanical watches in that haul.
