Ww2 watches found in mystery watch deal

[@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

[@firefly17292]

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

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

@@firefly17292 mainly Temu and eBay

[@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!

[@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.

The cost fixing those watches far exceeds resale value

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

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

[@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

[@ElderPinto254]

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

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Thanks

Swiss military is a decent brand man. Nice catch with the Victorinox!

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Thanks so much

[@ashleychambers7602]

victorinox make some beautiful watches don’t they

[@signorcorso]

@@ashleychambers7602 absolutely!

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

@@ashleychambers7602 yes they do

[@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

[@livefree6878]

Nice👍

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Thanks

Are the 'black' watches by Carling?

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

It is not. It is a Fremes

[@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]

some of these look really fancy tho

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

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

[@Charleslife07]

What do you do with the China and invalid watches?

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

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

[@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

[@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

[@frecklefingers]

Black Ice is a beer made by Molson Coors Canada.

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

@@frecklefingers ok thanks I didn’t know that

[@Leety-o2j]

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

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Thanks so much

[@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

[@Ddcola753]

Mido .. remember that next time. 🎉

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