Why do you ask ? What does your own research tell you?

··Oooo subtitles!They should be. You'll need to be specific to elicit any meaningful responses though. What is the asking price and what is the condition?

·The seamster is 180€ and is in good condition. The Geneve is 250€ and has a few scratches. I would like to start flipping watches and came a cross these and thought they might be good.

Watches like this are not a get rich quick scheme, quite the opposite.
ps there are some on here that react badly to the 'I know nothing about your hobby but I'd like to make a quick buck from it, please give me free information to facilitate this'. Which is why you have been asked what your research tells you, and I am giving you tough love with respect to flipping watches.

·Ah the monthly, “I want to start flipping watches but know nothing about them. Please teach me all you know ASAP so I can compete with you to buy watches and sell to you at a profit”.

·Watches is the wrong 'hobby' for you
Maybe start reading books?
The little book of common sense is a good one lol

There's nothing likes a hands-on education. Why don't you give it a shot with the Geneve, it's the better watch. Buy it as cheap as you can and then sell it for as much as you can. Keep track of any fees, shipping costs, and the hours you put into it. Report back later.

·So you’ve come in for some fairly harsh responses here, with justification. Many members of this forum have years and years of learning behind them, and they generously offer it here to others who share the hobby. There’s a pretty clear condition with this, and that condition is that they are sharing their knowledge with collectors, not aspiring dealers. Why would they do that? Collectors don’t want to help someone who’s purpose is to increase the scarcity of reasonably priced watches.
Here’s something that might be useful for you: go onto YouTube and watch Simon Freese’s series on turning £100 into a Rolex. Essentially he takes you on his journey of buying and selling watches on eBay making a profit each time until he’s able to purchase a Rolex with his profits. But here’s the thing, he has to add value to each watch in order to make a profit and he’s able to do that by repairing and restoring watches because, guess what, he’s been doing that for over 20 years.
If you’re going to flip watches how are you going to add value? Buy low, sell high? OK, where are you going to buy watches at below the market price, even if you know what you’re looking for?
It’s not as easy as you might think, but I wish you well. Everyone’s entitled to make a bit of money, and everyone entitled to be offended when someone asks them to download their patiently acquired knowledge.
