Can you make money investing in watches?

The guy who sold it probably bought a smart watch that traced where he had been and at what depth so he could post on Strava.

Mechanical watches are now jewellery and subject to fashion. Telling the time is incidental unless you are in the Melbourne Club where phones and any modem technology is disallowed. (According to the paper (Age) I read today).

Maybe, but the condition of the watch indicates that it was more a dress watch. I doubt that it went any deeper than the local resort pool

Serious divers use these -

Not the nicest thing to wear around to dinner.

Professionals use

Which is my preferred when diving.

This is the condition of a watch that I have been using for recreational purposes, swimming, camping etc. And that’s the second glass since new.

Love this watch, a gift from my wife about 25 years ago. No battery, no winding, and it can sit in the draw for months without losing time. Just give it a few shakes to recharge and the dials rotate for each day from when it stopped, until it gets to t correct time.

And being a Seiko, the cost of servicing and part’s is very economical. I’m taking this in for a full service next month.

Outside light is less harsh and doesn’t show the scratches as much.
