<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shangas, post: 68159, member: 360&quot;]They look like rather standard pocketwatches...With gold cases they might be worth repairing, but it&#039;s going to be very expensive. You need new crystals, new hands, and the movements need to be stripped and cleaned, oiled and reassembled. </p><p><br /></p><p>Once they&#039;re working, I&#039;m not sure how much you&#039;d make in profit. I guess it goes on the value of the gold cases. But I can tell you this much - don&#039;t scrap the gold! Gold watches like these are rare as hell. If it was ME, I&#039;d have them serviced and running and repaired. </p><p><br /></p><p>The crown-winding watch has a pin on the side of the case. That&#039;s for setting the hands. You press in the pin and set the time, then the pin pops out again. I&#039;ve got one of those in my collection, from the 1890s.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
