I was cleaning out my dad’s stuff and came upon these watches. Can anyone tell me where I can find information about them and if they are worth anything? Thanks in advance.I hope the pictures show up not really sure how to do that.

I am trying to post the photos from photobucket but they are not showing up. I must be doing something wrong. I will try again.

Your pictures didn’t show up what is the name on the watches?

Snapdragon, I can’t see what the watches are. But, I will tell you I dealt with the same issue, I’ve had my Dads watches since 1999 when he died, I just kept them. Well one of our fellow sellers had posted in the forum looking for men’s windup watches this year, so I listed mine for $200.00 the lot of them with OBO. Lo and behold I had a potential buyer from out of the country make me a offer of $140.00. I took a step back and figured out I better figure out what I have. Took them to a local watch repair shop, they purchased the lot from me for $150.00, I don’t know if that was a good sale or not, but I’m not in the watch business, and I figure the shop owner will want to make money too, plus he has a client base that I don’t have. My suggestion try what I did.

Cross check sold ones at The Dark Side, some are valuable and some are not. There seems to be a market for old watches. I have one old self-winding that will get listed one of these days.

Here’s a link to a site that will give you a mountain of information on watches.

What are the names of these watches and are they all made in USA or elsewhere? Does the “third serial number” for any on the back have a 5? If so, then it’s a good one for any good collector buyer (providing it is running)? Good luck
