Before everyone had access to the internet, you’d occasionally find some lesser-known luxury brands in thrift store piles. But that was over 20 years ago.
honestly, I have found alot with eta movements from thrift stores from smaller brands.
Bummer you can't rip them off anymore
Yep..😀😀😀
@@fmc6338 why rip them of?
If they dont know what they have its their fucking problem
Thrift and charity shops are basically ebay extensions nowadays. As soon as item arrives they google it up and slap identical price on it.
When you see a bag of watches at a flea market or a garage sale, it usually means that the owners are amateur watch repairmen, collectors, or hobbyists. Often those sellers know what they are worth and when they have a pile of junk.
Ill be honest, generally at thrift stores they have a very basic understanding. I have gotten great watches for dollars. Five times, I have bought solid gold watches from them.
@@vintagesterlingfinds I guess it depends on where one lives and the quality of the local thrift shops. I live in Central NJ and the best watch I have ever found at a thrift shop was a Victorinox quartz watch for $20. I passed on it because it wasn’t for me. The shops near me have a good understanding of quality v. junk. Items like watches are screened by managers before they are put on the floor.
@@vintagesterlingfinds yup I’ve gotten 2 Swiss made watches. And have probably gotten around $2000 in watches from my local thrift store for about $100 max over the past 2 years.
I live in Vancouver Canada, and half off the stores here have no clue. I got a clearly marked 18k gold ring last year for 2.99
Very interesting! Where I live, there are a lot of very high end housing developments, and a lot of Goodwill Stores where high end goods seem to make it into the Goodwill stores. I go golf club shopping and watch shopping! I have 3 right now that I need to get batteries for...2 of them I might get $40 each...but one of them is a high end fashion watch company that makes both automatic and quartz models. The case is 925 silver with 18k rose gold plating. It's really a gorgeous watch..and I am still not sure if I am going to sell it, as the rectangular shaped case is really nice looking!
Nice to someone else making a little extra cash fixing up watches that you find in thrift stores!
yes thanks. I find areas with a high seniors rate good. Alot of the time, When they pass away, the family donates everything.
The most valuable is probably the Timex Ironman 😅
Hahahaha your right. That one sold fast
The thrift store appreciates your business . Pro tip; keep your money.
Hahaha I have sold 4 of the watches in the bag and made money
I'm honestly embarrassed to even look at those awful fakes. I wish I hadn't seen this. U-Boats are hilariously large, even when real. But it is a mortal sin to fake a Vacheron and an even worse sin to wear one.
Do you bury things to dig them back up in the summer months?
Fed
All very convenient.
Store bags up watches like broken biscuits.
You buy a bag and video the opening.
A VC pops out.
Enjoy the cash my comment brings you 😉 🤑
The Vacheron is deffinatley a fake. The 750 on the case back indicates that the case is 18k gold alloy, which it is not. (You may have noticed that it does not have the weight of gold.)
In particular, the rotor is clearly not gold and has been stamped.
There is no visible assayers' stamp to accompany the alloy stamp. These can be hard to spot sometimes though.
The movement is not finished to the standard of the Geneva Seal. While VC did not submit all of its watches for the Geneva Seal for all of its history, this movement is so far from that standard that it would be hard to conceive of VC using it.
The logo and word mark design on this watch was never used by VC.
This design comes up periodically in forums and is always said to be a fake.
Specifically, this design never existed in the VC catalog (as far as I know), so it is not a replica. Instead, it is an example of brand piracy.
Solid analysis. I was going to comment that it looks like something from the Invicta reject pile with a Seagull (or lesser) 2824 clone movement and VC logo slapped on, but you went beyond my educational depth so I’ll just defer to you and give you a like 😂
Thanks for your reply. I will be honest and say the watch was quite heavy. I have never held a real VC, but I would assume the weight to be similar
@@vintagesterlingfinds it’s quite heavy because it’s a large watch in general and there’s a lot of metal going on. If that watch were real amd in 18k gold it would weigh considerably more
@@vangledosh true, I do believe the watch was made of stainless. I have held an 18k Rolex and that was an incredibly heavy watch
I gasped at the VC, said a big "What?!" until I saw the back
hahaha I was the exact same way
@@vintagesterlingfinds the F word followed, I felt bad for you sir
@@andreleverettejr3747 hahahah thanks
I had a watch hooked to my belt,and thought it was a waist of time🥸
Good video though, keep up the great work👍
Um...thats not the balance wheel on the fake vc
Its a standard chinese auto movement
Dude used a Swiss army knife to cut a sandwich bag 😂😂😂
Hahaha you try opening those bags. They use tear proof bags. A knife is the only way
15 bucks is a deal do yourself a favour and let the fossil become actual fossil tho
Hahahaa will do
you keep random watch links to shove them onto a different bracelet? WTF! I guess I'm just lucky to not have been in a situation where I have so little that I need to resort to that.
I keep the watch links. A lot of the time, I find the watch in the next bag. One time I bought a watch bag with a Seiko with no strap. Next week I went back, and the strap was in the other watch bag
@@vintagesterlingfinds sounds like quite a find!
@@yaakovhassoun8965 thanks so much
nice video man keep up the work!
Thanks so much
hello kitty rolex,wow!
Thanks
Do you own the store and are trying to drum up trade?
What watches did you sell from this bag?
I just looked, I sold the Roots, timex ironman, continental and the fossil.
Hi man, i love your videos! Be careful selling fake watches, please. In my country for instance is illegal. Love ya
Thanks so much. And I would never sell a fake watch
55k views holy cheap Charlie ! Nice going bud !😂
Thanks big guy
damn bro drink some water nxt time😢
@@Syph_Flips my bad I will
a knife to open a sandwich bag? use your fingers
Hahaha your right. Sometimes the bags are think and need a knife
Getting the word garbage
Bag of junk but if you can sell any of them good luck eBay is full of watches that people are desperate to unload
as of now, I have sold almost all of them
I bought a bag of worthless shite but amongst it was a vacheron 😂😂😂
Victoria, Canadá ? No way congrats
I’m in Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦
it’s a fake Vacheron🤣 And if you can’t tell from a miles distance find yourself another trade!
Hahaha I know it’s fake. I made the video to show what I found
The fake vacheron should not be resold , it belongs in the bin
Where does he buy these bags
Basically any thrift store. This one was value Village
Thank you
@@jipdegier3163 anytime
I want to buy the fake Vacheron, did you list it?
its gone
Imagine wanting to buy a fake watch 😂
Go to Canal Street in NYC and pick one up for $20.
lol dude thought he got a real VC and a real UBoat at the thrift shop.. Oh to be this gullible
Hahaha I have gotten real watches at thrift stores. It’s always a risk
How much did you actually make?
@@littlejohnuk maybe $200 give or take abit
@@vintagesterlingfinds Nice one
@@littlejohnuk thanks so much
Do you still have the Timex Ironman?
I do, it’s on a leather strap are you interested?
@@vintagesterlingfinds if it is the T5K200 I would be. I wouldn’t use the leather strap though I would look for an original or a reproduction.
Does the Indiglo work?
@@tims4558 the indiglo does work and I will see the model when I get home
Also I would sell it without the strap
That U-boat just feels real to me. They use movements from other manufacturers and it looks like some dink head just messed with it too much.
I showed my watchmaker friend and he felt the case was real, but they put in a fake Chinese made eta movement
That's a poor fake of a Vacheron Constantin
Hahaha still there’s lots of demand
i just subbed
Thanks I appreciate it
If "high end" ; will be FAKE every time. If not, the video is a fake.
😳😳😳😃😃😃
Some one Thanks ,
Timex triathlon is a good watch , price in a secondary market is $20-30 with the bracelet/strap ,
#2 Is Continental ladies watch has a cheap 1 jewel hand winding movement "Baumgartner 896" or BFG 896 , in a good working condition the real price of the watch is $20-30 , but you have
a broken watch so.....
#3. Fake "v.c" price is zero, in some cases you can get punched in a face ror trying to sell this crap, for me personally selling fakes is lower than a baseboard.
#4. "U boat" fake leftovers - $0
I agree. I gave the fake to my friend because he wanted it. And the Uboat I threw away
@@vintagesterlingfinds ,you should not throw away that watch, keep it or strip the parts like buckle,strap, glass , all the little screws, winding stem , hands they may feet some miyota movements and etc.
And keep doing what you doing, sometimes you loose sometimes you win , it's a good game!
@@alexkastano96 I did, I kept a few parts. But someone striped most of the movement
Junk mostly
I’ll be honest a lot is junk, but I sold the VC for $120
Not mostly, ALL.. but i have to give you props. Selling a fake Vacheron, and a really really bad fake at that, for 120$ takes a good salesman 👍👍
@@mmcmc3476 thanks, i sold it almost instantly
Fake watches but u can buy it
Yes more for fun
learn something about watches before you a new video and no pawn or thift shop is going to put a topend watch in a $14 bag.
Honestly I have found omega, tag hueuer and bulova watches in them
Wtf😅
That looks like a real Vacheron. I hope so. That would be an incredible find. If it's a fake, it's a good one.
unfortunately fake
@@vintagesterlingfinds Sad. Who goes the distance to even copy the Vacheron logo on the rotor? What is that, a modified Seagull movement (which isn't bad, but not VC)?
@@TheTrueHasenfeffer I believe its a replica VC movement made in China. It looks similar to a real one.
@@vintagesterlingfinds unreal. They should take that technical expertise and create their own luxury brand. There's no pride in knock-offs and counterfeits.
This comment and the replies have to be a joke. The dial finish, crispness of the number markers, and movement finishing are hot garbage. The movement in no way resembles any VC movement I’ve ever seen. Looks like it belongs in an ETA-based Tissot at best. They stamped a cross on the rotor. So what?
Those are fake don’t bother
are you chewing gum??????!
I am not. I was using a cheap mic
Lol .... between the lisp and the lip smacking I'm about to go insane
Drink some water your mouth seems v dry…
Thanks I got a rode mic in my newer videos. It has helped a lot.
It is illegal to sell the fakes
"It is illegal to sell the fakes" 🤓
@@notgray88 ;))))))))))).
Then we should start from our governments that pose as legitimate.
How do you make a 1min video into 8min?.....oh, just make it boring.
