路I think the only rare thing in these pictures is the nail design of the seller. Well, but at least it matches the condition of the watches... 馃榾

路Hi all
I know this is a long shot. And in tried to search it online as well. I probably know the answer but I just wanted to ask the experts in the group is there a slightest possibility that any of the below models are rare. Just wanted to be sure a 100% before I part awake from these.
Do you ever use https://www.chrono24.com ? It is a good place to see average prices and watch conditions. I like the Dynamic. Maybe because I used to have a memomatic on my wish list and see some parallels in the style. I never did buy one.

路Just in general: smaller watches are not in demand and so have little to no value, unless they are something particularly rare. For example, the Weems watches are always desirable along with many military issues from the second world war and before.
The Seamaster you posted has been heavily altered and has lost so much of its originality that it is not going to be desirable.
The De Villes are what they are and will be worth $100 or so more than the value of a service and replacement crowns.
The green dialed Geneve and the Dynamic are both interesting enough to be desirable. Dynamics are starting to get a following but be careful because it's not all of them (the one you have is the right shape and dial to hit the fashion button right now). In tidy and working condition, I should say each is $5-600. Maybe 拢750 for the Dynamic, but you can easily check eBay's completed sales on them to see where they are now. If they don't need much more than a clean and service, I might be tempted to get those back to life in your shoes.

Hello! indeed i did search for the watches and realized that they may not be rare. There were some dial color I didnt find in that website, so I thought may be they could be rare and took help from this form of experts!
