Thank you very much for the valuable info. The points you made got more interesting for me as they got more and more relatable with the issues I had. I recently bought a vintage Onsa Watch that has eta2472 in it unawarably and it is lacking the lockig screws that you mention @6:00 and the movement thus the dial is dancing in the case when you pull out the crown; it is quite annoying.
I just bought one, looks beautiful, and runs very well, paid 60Ausd.
I love automatic and handwinding watches cant stand battery operated ones .got a couple of timex automatics and I always look on ebay and hit the u.s only location and hit the 10 to 30 dollar range,.you can have your rolex and omegas,i will take vintage timexs 1960s to 1970s models any day.got a couple of automatic seikos from amazon but they cant hold a candle to the vintage beauties of timex.
@Tom Smith And cellphones have theoretically made watches obsolete. So, what's your point? People like mechanical watches. You aren't going to change someone's mind about mechanical watches just by pointing out that quartz is more accurate.
yeah,i guess your right.
Tom Smith Again, your point is valid, but you still aren't going to change people's minds about mechanical watches. Also, mechanical movements were good enough for ships to use for navigation up through the first half of the 20th century.
@Tom Smith price goes only one way on old mechanical watches............
Both of those Seamasters were beauties. I have a 1950s Consteallation with box, papers, etc which my grandma gave to my dad. I had it serviced, new band, and a new crystal. It is a generic, so, I think I should buy the real thing down the line.
I have two 1950's Tudor watches. One started back up; the other is missing the stem. I need advice on cleaning and repair. I need parts. Thanks for any advice. Don't want to seem dumb either but can I not upload a picture of them here? Or just on my home page? Thanks!
Thx, helpful video for rookies like myself.
the new old stock may not be that easy to find..or wait for few months .. few years perhaps and the parts will be dear too perhaps..
This vid is great. The first Longines watch I found on eBay had missing anchor screws. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Thank you
Hi, will you please explain what is wrong with the redial you show around 1:30? Maybe the detail is not clear enough in the video, but my untrained eye can't tell what is wrong with the dial. Thank you for this video and thank you for clarifying.
wish I could tell what was wrong with those dials.
Nice video with some great info. I bought a Titoni from India which presents in very good condition but there are a few tell tail signs you called out like the locking screw holes empty. Its an automatic and it runs super fast while the insides look nearly new I am not certain everything is correct. Was thinking of getting it looked at but now thinking I will possibly cut my losses and sell as a parts watch.
There's one key word in buying watches on eBay...India.
Why do you say that?
@@mobrule5934 Because pretty much all of them are Franken watches...including their own Indian HMTs.
@@stevenhickenjr they are a PAIN
I bought a NOS HMT with docs and case, it is very nice. However, if you want something authentic, it will cost a bit, and getting to know the seller is critical.
I don't want to seem like an idiot but what is a bumper movement?
+WATCH VIDS Hi it's a very valid question, this means that the automatic roter doesn't go all the way around, it goes to a certain point and it stops it's also known as a hammer movement, if you look up Omega 351 movement you can see what I mean. Thank you for your question I hope I gave somewhat of a clear answer.
Collecting Vintage Watches Thanks I'm only 13 so I'm still learning I just feel lucky to have the resources that I have.
I don't mean to sound needy but I would love it if you would check out my channel.
+WATCH VIDS well your welcome to ask any questions you might have, if I can't answer one of our friends will have the appropriate answer.
Thx dude. Appreciate this as I’m new to watch collection
Thank you very much for the data, much of that I did not know and are really important. Two thumbs up.
That Sandoz chronograph looks beautiful, what model is it? Is it gold plated or solid gold?
oscar gustavo arcos ruiz thank you for your support
Nice to know thank you so much
How could you find the right case screw if they are missing, or where? Sorry I am a amateur. Thanks!
Ese Sandoz está precioso Don Fer. !!!
Can you place a see through / display back on your vintage Minerva, beautiful insides.
I see your point about the locking screws and will keep that in mind. Just a question, I have a minty but cheap Garon, and the movement moves around in the case, but couldn't that be due it being a low quality watch?
Thank you so much for your tips!! So very helpful!
Jeffrey De Jesus thank you for your support 🙋♂️
Great video, excellent for my jump into the vintage watch world... Link on how to open watch case doesn't seem to work though
I just got to your channel. Congrats, well done. Hope you keep on working on it.
Thank you
Sir you are superb
Thanks a lot Sir.... Very very important information...
Thanks for the great video! A quick question from a newbie: now I've seen many vintage watches without the locking screws, does it mean they are without their original movements or the screws are simply missing? Thanks!
It can be both, I use it as a indicator that the watch has had bad watch maker working on it, or the movement was swapped and the screws didn't fit anymore so at that point I do more research to see if that watch came out with that caliber movement from the factory 😁
Collecting Vintage Watches ahh yes! I should do that as well. Filtered out half of the watches I previously saved after watching this, so helpful! Thanks!
Great video! very helpful information. Thank you!
Hi l have a little 1941 Rolex Victory in good working condition - l was told it was given to a family member my late uncle (wing commander) in the RAF by a colleague in the Canadian RAF sometime during the war are there collectors for this watch?
I'm not at all knowledgeable of vintage watches but I've gotten 3 watches from ebay so far 2 of them were legit and one well it wasn't but I also paid 27/32 for the real ones and 15 for the fake one 😀 so it's a hit or miss
It may be a bit difficult to inspect watches on ebay though, don't you think..
Thank you sir for some good advice.
thx for the video! can somebody pls tell me what kind of strap that is? 3:31
I was thinking, I knew that voice hehehe good tips amigo.
But how could you possibly tell if buying on eBay the things you had mentioned, surely it’s trial and error knowing who to buy from, because you can’t inspect the inside of a watch before buying.

By far one of the most applicable presentations I've seen on inspecting watches. I'm now reviewing my collection to see what mistakes I made and will be using your checklist going forward. I'm sure it will help me avoid pitfalls. Information like this increases my confidence in what I'm doing and therefore allows me to invest in higher priced items which to date I've not attempted. Do you have any tips on being able to screen gold quality and content?
Fernando thanks so much for taking the time to make these videos. You deserve more subscribers
