Estate Sale Watches Omega Longines

[JimDon]

I hit an estate sale this morning and was number five in line. I had seen a box of about 10 watches in the photos so I thought I’d give it a shot. I got a little nervous as the number two guy was wearing a very nice Cartier so I thought he might be there for the Watches too. When it opened at 9 AM three of the guys went to the back of the house to the tool shed leaving me in the number two guy but fortunately he was interested in the pottery and art glass. I got first dibs at the watchers and got this Omega Constellation turning fork model a Longines And a mid Century Bulova that has a custom dial with the guys name instead of Bulova. Super happy to get them but unfortunately the omega did not run with a new battery. I immediately sent it off to my AccuTron guy. Paid $40 for all and another $300 to get the omega running but well worth it.

At one point, I was coming across 2 men’s Omegas a year. Now I only see the women’s models. Going to an auction with a lot of watches and pens this weekend. I’m hoping to be as lucky as you. Those are all nice watches! I think I will divide my Bulovas up and see if they are worth anything

Dang last tune fork I had repaired maybe 20 years ago now cost me only $90.00 ... You need to get educated on those JD. Get good at it you could probably quit your regular job.

Yeah I haven’t quite figured out how to service an AccuTron yet. I actually have several that I want to work on including one that is running slow which I think will be the best candidate to work on. I was able to get the Longines running and was fortunate I was able to use a Bulova crown and stem.

Around my neck of the woods you don’t find watches very often. There are a lot of pickers specifically looking for a Watches and no matter how early I go to yard sales someone has already been there asking for a Watches. Good luck at the auction let us know what you get. Let me know if you need any help with the Bulovas to get them running.

Great scores! Any vintage Omega is a great watch. Love that Longines, too. Very classy!

I am just hoping the guy I sent it to can get it running.
