Questions About Old Watches Value
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023
    The value of an old watch depends on a number of factors, including who made it and which style it is. Condition also has a major impact on how much a timepiece is worth.

  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023
    Yes, some old pearls have value. How much pearls are worth depends on the type of pearl, the maker and their condition.

Find a large selection of pearl jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024
    Yes, some Gruen watches have value. Generally, the older timepieces produced by the American watchmaker tend to be the most valuable. Overall, the style, condition, rarity and demand for a particular watch will determine how much it is worth. For an estimate on a particular watch, seek the help of a certified appraiser or experienced dealer. Explore a variety of Gruen watches on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023
    Yes, some rotary phones are valuable. Collectors often seek pieces in colors other than black, brown, white and beige, so phones that are blue, green, yellow, red, pink or purple may be worth more. The maker, age and condition will also impact the value. Rotary dial phones were brought to market in America in around 1919 or so and became widely used during the 1950s. If you want to know how much a particular piece may sell for, a licensed certified appraiser can assist you. On 1stDibs, find a selection of rotary phones.

Shop a collection of properly vetted vintage and contemporary Rolex watches from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023
    Whether Omega watches hold their value will depend on a variety of factors, including how well the timepieces are cared for and how demand and supply change over time. Because it can be difficult to predict how the value of items will fluctuate, it’s important to choose watches that appeal to you. However, Omega watches are internationally revered for their craftsmanship. Among the Swiss brand’s models that have been said to hold their value well over the years is the Speedmaster. Worn by Buzz Aldrin during the 1969 Apollo 11 lunar mission, it’s the only watch certified by NASA for extravehicular activity (space walks). On 1stDibs, shop a selection of Omega watches from some of the world’s top sellers.

  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    Yes, many old watches are worth something. However, values vary greatly based on the maker, the style of the timepiece, how many watches like it were produced and the current level of demand for similar timepieces. Even among watches that generally do have value, the condition of the timepiece will impact the price. A certified appraiser can take a look at your watch and assign an estimated value to it. Shop a collection of watches on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023
    Yes, old Rolex watches can be repaired. The Swiss luxury watchmaker will often restore timepieces for customers, and there are many authorized repair shops that specialize in Rolex restoration.

  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024
    To tell how old your Gruen watch is, turn it over and examine the back of its case. Most timepieces feature two numbers positioned side by side or one above the other. The first, or top, number represents the caliber number, while the second, or bottom, number is the style number. Once you have the style number, you can cross-reference it with trusted online resources to determine its age, and learn more about your timepiece. On 1stDibs, shop a range of Gruen watches.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    How old key-wind pocket watches are varies greatly. Watchmakers used key-wind mechanisms in pocket watches starting in the 16th century and continued the practice until the mid 19th century. You can find a collection of key-wind pocket watches on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Because Bulova isn't a luxury brand and they made millions of watches, the watches are frequently worth the gold's value that was used to produce them. Sometimes some of the vintage watches are worth more than their original value when resold.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023
    Yes, some old Tudor watches are valuable and in demand among collectors. The value of a Tudor watch depends on its date, model and condition. Generally, timepieces that are still in working order are worth more than those that require repairs. You can work with a jeweler or consult a certified appraiser to ascertain the value of a specific Tudor watch. On 1stDibs, find a variety of Tudor watches.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
