i have that exact Lorus Mickey mouse, and I actually found it at a flea market and got it for 5 euros. I had no idea it was worth that much.

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Yes they are collectable now. I will probably sell it in under one week

[@philtowle4683]

The samsung looked like 2 miyota movements, if it had the back you could have swapped movements from other watches.

[@philtowle4683]

Do you collect knives as well as watches? Don't seem to see the same one twice.

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Hahaha yes I have about 20 I carry a lot

[@jorge32421]

I use the parts to make jewelry

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Oh that’s really cool

[@mad_6519]

This guy has almost no appreciation for some of the stuff he gets here

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

I love the stuff. But unfortunately there’s nothing I can do with it

[@mad_6519]

@@vintagesterlingfinds Well there'll be some hobbyists somewhere who'd love those parts. I know I would if I had the disposable income to get into it ¯⁠\⁠(⁠°⁠_⁠o⁠)⁠/⁠¯ but then I'd buy my own bags.

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

@@mad_6519 Forsure I will probably sell it as a lot

[@johnsaltzohuigin6660]

Learn to engrave, that's all this bag is good for.

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Right I agree, or for parts

[@DaliwolfBacon]

That bag would be great for a ameture watchmaker like me :) I enjoy building watches :) I bet you could sell off a lot of the decent cases and movements and any dials that are in good shape.

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Oh that’s cool. I usually keep them for parts like backs and stems

I have my Dad's Bulova watch from about 1997 that has an Energizer 373 battery in it that I need to replace. I can't seem to find that same battery in my small city and was wondering if you could direct me toward a source for that battery? Do you have a web site that you can go to to tell what battery or substitute battery will work in each watch that you find or do you sometimes just have to guess at which battery should fit?

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

I like this one, but unfortunately you will most likely have to order on online as it is a specialty battery

Sr68 or sr916sw are equivalent

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

@@philtowle4683 right

[@philtowle4683]

Regarding the frozen one, you need to let it go.

[@ninjastronghold]

that vietnam watch looks like it is a soviet raketa. nice watch

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Could be, thanks for the information

[@shanereid5663]

A big bag of disappointment. I was expecting a bit of gold in the bottom.

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Hahaha same not everyone can be a winner
