Vintage watches - What features affect the cost? There are a number of factors that determine the cost of an vintage watch. The movement finish, case materials, crystal type, and bracelet type are just a few.

Specially made movements are finished with tremendous care. Steel components are polished, bridges are decorated, and very strict tests are done to ensure the high quality you'd expect in the highest quality vintage watches.

Whether a pocket watch, training watch, lady or man wrist watch, the back of the case will usually tell you what it's made out of. Obviously gold-plated, gold-filled, or other precious metal finishings command the highest prices. Stainless steel is the most widely used, especially for a sports watch or dive watch, while the cheapest cases are made out of plastic or resin.
