Yo! People are harsh. I love listening to "your boy, Vintage-Sterling-Finds." Seems cool, courteous, humble, up-front, and definitely knows his stuff when it comes to watches - like any watch ever made. He rocks and makes me laugh a lot. :)
Make sure you include a movement shot in the listing for that Arnex pocket watch. It’s not super valuable, but Arnex did use quality movements in most of their pocket watches from that era. There’s a good chance it’ll contain an ETA/Unitas 6498, a great workhorse calibre!
The first Timex is a radial dial Mercury with the original band. The second one is a desirable Marlin. I think that Caravel is a men's watch. They wore them smaller in the 50s.
Video is not showing the brand names of the watches properly. You can hold the dial for 30 seconds in front of the camera so that we can know the brand name.
No way in God's green earth you're getting $500 for that Arnex. That's a low-grade Unitas 6498 movement. They were stamped out by the hundreds of thousands. I'd say $200 tops. I wish you luck though.
A question I was going to ask, ie push back the ratchet thingy (click and click spring? ) and allow the main spring to release it's tension/compression. If wound to the max and lacking lubricant or corroded/rusty does the spring just wedge against itself with it's own tension/compression and friction?

@@mercuriall2810 thanks I did, and it did contain that movement
caravelle is the cheap line of bulova
@@ianrusso8790 true but same movements. Some people collect caravelle
The no name digital moon watch looks like a Marcel ref.995 about $20
@@Uncsy ok thanks so much

@@thomasflynn5366 thanks so much. It is very small, so I think it’s a ladies. I could be wrong
Great score, I just bought a bunch of watches but the previous owner must have had a very small wrist as all bracelets are short.
@@philtowle4683 happeneds, but that is an easy fix
Does fully wind watches can be fixed?
@@ramikanan5338 yes but the should be rebuilt and my skills are not that good
Yes, fully wound watches can be fixed if you are willing and want to take the watch apart, clean it and oil and reassemble.
@ it’s hard to do, and takes lots of time
The swatch strap has some value
@@philtowle4683 unfortunately it was all dry rotted. So I keeped the buckle
Timex with a 21 prefix is I believe a Marlin
@@chrisdevitto4340 ok thank you

@@Libertà_sopra_vita thanks I did see 3 sold on eBay for around $500. But you never know they could have gotten lucky
Why don't you just unwind the ones that are fully wound?

links - bracelet other- strap
@@ronron8311 usually the oil is dried and leaves a residue, so there’s not a lot I can do
@@kevinbaker4907 there’s no more oil left in the watch, and generally just unwinding it doesn’t do much.
@@virgos_rule good one
Hope you sell it for that.
