*Sherbie

 

I’m looking for something that aren’t readily available. Maybe something a bit special. If there aren’t any, then I’ll just pick one that looks nice.
Thanks for looking

 

Is that one good?

 

I agree with Grumpy er, I mean Sherbie!
In the box of 21 watches, I would pull out the four on the right in the top and bottom rows.
If genuine and nice, they could be worth $400ish each.
The others all flash warnings that put me off at first, fuzzy glance.

 

Ok, thanks

 

So, here we have 2 different points of view that have both lined up on one watch........
Interesting!

 

Yes, thanks. I’ve just asked him to bring it today

 

Would you mind me posting a few closer up, once I have them?

 

Somebody told me that those rice bands are quite rare?

 

Jeez, we've been beggin' you for close-ups!

Do you work in Government, by any chance?

(And, can you take a joke?)

 

Yes and er yes haha

 

I honestly thought people would’ve liked the gold one at the end

 

Could this one be quite old?

 

'40's looking case, but lume looks thick.
We need a good head on photo but that one might be worth looking at.
Beware: most black dials aren't original.

Wow, I'm exhausted! Goodnight!

 

Many thanks and good night. Oh, one last q: Do I just take photos of the front?

 

Now, you didn't read this, did you?

However, straight-on frontal, movement and inside caseback are the most important.
If you're not able to open it up, go with the head-on dial shot in good resolution.

I really think he needs to be reading this.

Develop your own taste in watches. That's part of the fun. It'd be like walking into a well-known tailor shop and asking them to dress you, without giving them any clue what your own sense of style is or whether you'd be wearing it to work as a corporate lawyer or as a film producer, or to the opera or a football game.

And, yes, do closer pictures. The whole case photos where each watch is tiny and the faces of the watches are lost in glare from the flash are particularly useless. Take a camera or a good cell phone, shoot available light if at all possible. Much of what makes a watch valuable is orginality and condition, and you can't see that if it's out of focus or too small for details to show - at most you'd get a possible price if there are no defects.
