How to Make
SERIOUS MONEY
Buying & Selling
Old Watches



by Greg Russell

1st Edition

Copyright © 2006 by Greg Russell




Don't learn the hard way...
Take the shortcut to success with this
comprehensive coaching manual!


     Now YOU can benefit from the author's 20-plus years of experience buying & selling in the vintage and secondary market watch business.  The material presented in this book is an expanded version of his one-on-one coaching program. 

     In this 114-page manual, you'll receive valuable business suggestions and advice, and read numerous success stories based on the author's personal experiences.  As an example of the wealth of knowledge contained in this book, the section entitled "Things to Think About" lists 26 'words of wisdom,' including this one:


#6.  When buying old watches from the public, if time and circumstance permits, ask if they have the original box or boxes.  Many older watch boxes have removable inserts or liners in the bottom half of the box.  Be sure to look under the insert.  It is common to find extra links for metal bracelets there.  I’ve also found original straps with a logo type buckle from the manufacturer.  These boxes also make a good hiding place for other items.  Down through the years I’ve found paper money, silver and gold coins, military scrip and medals, along with a variety of other interesting items, like campaign buttons.  Be sure to check!





If you get just ONE valuable suggestion
or selling tool by reading this manual,
it's worth every cent!

Still not convinced that you need this book? 

     Read this “success story,” an actual experience Greg has had while living the vintage watch life-style:  (By the way, this one isn't in the book.  There are 10 more you'll enjoy reading once you own it for yourself!)



     Since I was one of the main "watch guys" at a large San Diego swap meet, other swap meet sellers of general merchandise would often contact me concerning watches they had found.  Some called just for information.  Others called because it was often simpler to sell to me than go to the general public, especially if the watch was not running or was of limited interest to the public.  They knew they could get "quick cash" from me and not have to wait for their profit.


     A gentleman who sold small collectibles called on a Thursday afternoon and said that he had found a nice chronograph that he knew I would be interested in.  He described it as a manual wind, double register Gallet chronograph, with a black dial, in a stainless steel case.  He said that the only problem was that it was engraved on the back.  We discussed price, and came to a tentative agreement.  This San Diego swap meet was open Fridays on a much smaller scale than the following two days, Saturday and Sunday, so I made arrangements to visit his selling space the following morning.

     The watch was as described, so I purchased it for about 25% below its book value.  The seller again apologized for the engraving and remarked that the stainless steel back looked thick enough that he thought that the engraving could be polished off.

     The engraving on the back of the watch indicated that it had been presented as a first prize to the winner of a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier landing contest in the late 1950's.

     Who was that Naval Aviator?  Wally Shirra, who went on to become one of our most famous and accomplished Astronauts!

     With his name and a verifiable event engraved on the back of the watch, this Gallet chronograph moved out of the watch world and into a much more rarefied collectible market.

     If the gentleman who sold me the watch had taken the time to do a little research, he would have been the one to make the exponential profit.  It's also a very good thing that he didn't try to polish the engraving off the back to "improve" his chances of getting a better profit!




…And this wasn't Greg's best experience!
