The $5 Flea Market Watches That Are Worth Thousands

📘 The Vintage Watch Price Bible: fair prices, max pay and red flags for 139 vintage watches → https://timekeptwatches.com In 2014, a man walked into a Goodwill store in Phoenix and paid $5.99 for an old steel watch with two crowns. Nobody had wanted it. A few months later it sold at Christie's for $35,000. That watch was a 1959 LeCoultre Deep Sea Alarm. And it is not the only one. Every weekend, valuable vintage watches change hands at flea markets, thrift stores, estate sales and garage sales for the price of a coffee, because they look like junk. In this video we go through 7 of them: solid gold dress watches from Longines, Omega and Hamilton, the Hamilton Ventura, Enicar Sherpa, Wittnauer chronographs, vintage Heuer before TAG, the Doxa Sub 300 and LeCoultre. For each one you get the one detail that lets you spot it in about ten seconds. Values mentioned are approximate and depend on condition, originality and authenticity. Always check before you buy.
