Thread: Antique Watches

Recently, I've been looking at a ton of "antique" watches online, and by antique I mean from 1940s and before. Are there any watch brands that I should necessarily look for? I just really like the idea of having something so old still being able to tell and keep time correctly.

Budget? Style? Pocket watches, perhaps? There are tons and many different budget levels. Just think about many of the current leaders in the industry have been around for 100+ years.

Are you looking for something to simply collect, or wear and use? Some watches, especially higher-end watches, lose value when parts are replaced, certain collectors want all original.
