    I was looking through some old boxes that I had in storage and found these two watches.
    The Omega was given to my dad for 25 years service in 1967 and is engraved on the back with that info. after winding it it works. I can remember my mom wearing it after dad passed she had a problem winding it so a local watchmaker put a bigger winding knob on it for her.
    The Accutron needs a battery, anyone know what size of cell it needs?

    I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at what a railroad approved Accutron is worth in running order these days!

    I would be interested in the value of all of my watches, not for myself but for who they get passed down to in the future.
    I wouldn't want my kids tossing some old watches in a "Goodwill" bin down the road.

    A bit like the JLC Deepsea Alarm from 1959 that was $5.99 and sold for $35k!
