Vintage Wrist and Pocket Watches - Chains, Pins and Fobs.
On this page you will find a selection of vintage and antique wrist and pocket watches. These items are offered for sale in as is condition. The movement in a mechanical watch will need to be maintained. Before the invention of the quartz watch, a wrist watch would be cleaned and oiled every two to three years. I have no idea when the watches I'm selling were last serviced.
Most of these watches are not waterproof. Even if the watch says that it is waterproof one should be cautious. The rubber gaskets that originally waterproofed the watch may be missing or dried out. If droped, many are not shock proof, and the staff could be broken or bent. I will describe as much as I can about these watches. Some are in running condition and some are offered for repair or parts. As a collector and former member of the NAWCC I have a good amount of knowledge about the items for sale.
