Over the years we have bought out Collections, Watchmaker estates, as well as jewelry stores that were going out of business. It has been an exciting ride from Seattle , Washington to the Tip of Florida. From Calgary Alberta Canada to Belize City Belize. Along the way I get not only complete watches, watch bands, clocks, tools and machinery, but I also get some great watch parts to offer on Ebay. We just returned from getting some really great items in Tennessee and Georgia to add as well.

We are always interested in buying single pieces to large collections. Let me know if you have what we deal in.
* Denotes current condition. The service history of this watch is unknown to me unless I state otherwise. Therefore you should expect to service this watch if you are a responsible collector. Often times these watches have been forgotten in a jewelers desk or in a back room for 30 plus years. I like to save them from that demise and get them back into the hands of collectors. It doesn't take very long for old gummy oil to stop a movement from running ( many times just a week or so ) or even worse if the oil is dried out it might not take too long for the watch to grind itself up inside so please understand I can only tell you how the watch is performing here.
Please look closely at the pictures for the best description of the item we have here. Many times hundreds of words could not say as much as a single picture. We gladly combine shipping whenever possible, as we know that every little bit helps. No shipments to Italy... Sorry. Thanks and have a great day!
