How to buy vintage watch

As for buying vintage watch, you should choose a dealer who is experienced and one who has been in the trade for several years and will answer all of your questions as the following three questions. It is said that vintage products are judged by 3 factors or elements. The first governed element is who made the watch. A person shopping for a vintage watch will most likely want it made by a certain person but that doesn't make the watch any better. The second element considered is the value of the watch. Check if the watch is gold, stainless or gold filled. If the watch case is gold, then check for gold mark. It can be simply marked as 14K or 18K, or in the form of a Hallmark if from Europe.
And Last but not least, the workmanship that went into making the watch is considered. The vintage watches are usually made with a mechanical movement of a mainspring balance wheel.Do not worry overly about the band since most purchasers will change to their own specifications in any case.  However, if the band is a metal bracelet, then find out if it was original to the watch.
For some people, buying vintage watches is a hobby and for others they are just looking to get a good quality watch for a fraction of the price. No matter what you decide to go with be sure that the watch works and that it is made of quality products.
