My oldest is an Omega originally bought by my great-grandfather in 1914 (so it's exactly 100 years old this year...:-). Porcelain dial and mvmt still works a charm, although the PR is somewhat....restricted...:-)

 

Very apt centenary it's shares with the Great War

Yes - that is not quite a coincidence, as he decided to buy it when he was drafted. There are several stories in the family as to why, so I'm not sure which one is the right one...:-)

I have seen them on eBay, some say its from the 1940's and some say its from the 1920's, I need to do some research to make sure how old it is.

Plenty of pics, but I don't have a cloud-account and can't be bothered to set one up....

It is somewhat less than $2,200, due to the lack of the decorated case.

Thanks! It was my Grandfathers and it had a huge medalion on the strap that I took off years ago... It had no crystal when I got it and did not run. I had it overhauled about 12-15 years ago now and it still runs perfect when I wind it up. I used this watch at my wedding.

Well this watch was gave to me by my dad but he is taking good care of it for me.

It's an Omega Speedmaster Mark III from 1971, powered by the legendary 1040 movement.

Thing is that as you can see needs a new crystal I have been for years thinking about fix everything on it or selling it.

I'd hold on to it. It can only grow in value. Not to mention sentimental value.

 

 

You are probably right, anyway and I hope in many many more years, I will receive from my dad besides this Speedmaster three more lovely Gens. A Omega Deville, Rolex Explorer II and Rolex GMT Master Root Beer Two tone.

If interested, you can check your Longines serial numbers here:

http://nakahiro.parf...longinespn.jpeg

 

Serial numbers correspond with the dates of manufacture.

 

Beautiful watches everyone.

I love these antique watches, especially the pocket watches...but they are all really lovely.

Thanks for sharing and keep em coming...

:)

 

If you need pocket watch keys and don't know the size you can get a full set on ebay for around $25.

Wow thanks Richard!

 

Retail value $2200? I think mine might be worth more as its gold and silver.

Hi Aren,

 

Great idea.

 

I guess most people here are like me with just the one( mine isn't even a full one) I'm also in the uk so NAWCC not an option for me. I did buy my daughter a early 19th century fob( pendant ) watch for her 16th birthday.

There are some gorgeous watches here and her's would be a great addition here.

Hi,

 

Yes I'll get her to bring it for me to photograph. She's in Russia at the moment and doesn't live with me so I don't have it to click. I'm grateful for your interest though and will do so when she's back(may). It's a pretty little thing.

Many lovely Pendant pocket watches were produced for ladies.

It seems like PW are becoming more expensive. I love the simple micro-mechanics of the movements and appreciate the large size so that I can see the movements without too many complications.

Some antique PW only have one jewel, but those a rare. I have 4 jewel watches and up and need to take some photos.

Sadly, my photos are terrible, and I can't do justice to a watch.

Speaking of Russia, the Russians produced a PW with no jewels at all to help prevent wear of contacting surfaces.
