Pocket watches were not only a convenient way to track the time, but for centuries were also a fashionable item for men to carry. After WWII the wristwatch suddenly became the fashion and pocket watches were less commonly seen. The timepieces did not go away, but were tucked into drawers, jewelry boxes and attic trunks. This makes them a wonderful collectible for anyone looking for something with a long history, a lot of variety and has the potential to be very valuable.
* A Pocket Watches Buyer in Texas will look at many things when they determine the value of a watch. They have to be very educated about the market because there are so many different brands and styles of watches available.
* They need to be certain the watch is genuine. Counterfeits and replicas exist in pocket watches just like they do with every other type of jewelry and designer brand.
* Watches sold by defunct manufacturers are frequently more valuable than watches by companies still in business. The exception is when they are made by businesses like Rolex that are known for their quality timepieces.
* Collectors and buyers prefer watches that work or will work with a simple/inexpensive repair. Both the case and the clock need to be in acceptable condition, but some wear and rust is expected on vintage and antique watches.
* Vintage watches are those that are at least 50 years old. Some collectors do not consider them vintage until they hit their 75th birthday. The age does not always determine the value, but many people choose to only keep vintage and older in their collection. This means that older watches are often easier to sell.
