How to Buy Vintage Watches

Wristwatches entered the public eye as pilots used them so they could easily tell time without taking their hands away from the controls. The popularity of this fashion has grown ever since. Purchasing a vintage watch, whether as part of a collection or on its own, can be confusing if entered blindly, however.
  1. Style

    • Style alone doesn't determine a vintage watch's value. The inner mechanism's working also determine how valuable and stylish a watch is in the wearer's eyes. Before purchasing a vintage watch, it's important to know whether you want, for example, a manual watch or an automatic watch.

    Source

    • Where you purchase your vintage watch is an important decision and can affect many parts of the purchasing process. Buying from a local auction, for example, typically means you can get your vintage watch for a good price. The downside is you are not guaranteed the item of choice.

      If you are looking to purchase your vintage watch online, it is important to choose a verified source. Some sellers may be offering counterfeit watches.

    Cost

    • Your budget will be determined by your preference in watches. If you choose a famous vintage watch, such as a Wittnauer Futurama 1000, it may cost more than $1,500. Other watches, depending on style and condition, may cost much more or less.
