Watches.

[Nick 53]

Hi all, does anyone have any recommendations to we're I may get my numerous silver pocket watches looked at so they can be repaired so they will work.

 

In addition I have a longines pocket watch and trying to find out any information on the value and if it's a collection item.

 

If anyone knows anything my email address nickd19@icloud.com I can send photos for information if anyone can help.

I have numerous seiko kinetic watches, that I want to sell, especially seiko 5 sports 200 metre Diver.

Again any ideas were I may get a value in respect of selling

Cheers Nick

You could ask for advice at this watch maker school in Germany. When I was in Engineering college in that area I had a watch built in one of those schools, I also had the watch serviced in that area. I think in Villingen Schwenningen they made more watches than any other area in the world prior to quartz watches.

I came across an old guy in Birmingham jewellery quarters; his surname was Meeks. He specialised in watch repairs. No idea how good he was or what he charges. I just browsed around his shop counter out of curiosity whilst in the area.

Up date. My Longines pocket watch had been identified by Longines in Switzerland, and identified as 1930 model. Next step is to speak to sotherbys of London to check if its should be sold as it is or fully repaired depending on the market value of today. 

Thanks
