It's interesting, because often when a watch comes along here that someone posts, asking what it's worth, the replies often include "scrap value plus $100" or something like that. That watch (often a ladies watch) isn't valuable to us, and these examples in this thread aren't valuable to the people who owned them, and sold them for scrap.
I certainly don't blame people for scrapping an "old watch" to get some money out of it. Very few here lament the huge numbers of pocket watches that get scrapped for gold, but the pocket watch collectors surely do. Just different perspectives I think...
