Beautiful watch. It kills me that pocket watches have not increased in value to the same extent that vintage wristwatches have. By all rights, this watch ought to be many times what you’re asking. Good luck! BTW, you might add if you know the service history.
Agreed airansun. The market seems to have dropped out of pocket watches, even high grade railroad watches don't sell for the prices they used to. I used to be able to sell any pocket watch I had now it can take a while to even find an interested buyer. The movement was serviced back in 2010 before I bought it.
Hi ... you kvetch about the lack of offers but pretty much restrict your market to Canada. Just sayin. Lovely watch.
Hi Larry, actually I do ship worldwide: Asking $xxx USD shipped within North America (International shipping is $18 USD) Or Best Offer The shipping within NA is included and I'll pay half the International shipping and hope the buyer would pay the other half since it's about $35 to $40 CAD to ship international with tracking through Canada Post. --Paul
Might want to edit your post then because to me it seems initially like you will only consider Canada. EG: make the fact that you will ship anywhere more prominent.
I had this Waltham listed on ebay and the highest bid was $265. The high bidder backed out so I'll list it here for $290 CAD shipped within North America. Just five years ago I was offered between $800 and $1000 USD for this watch by several people. I guess the bottom fell out of the pocket watch market.
Sold. Thank you OF for hosting and thank you to my buyer and the OF community for stopping by to take a look
