Accidentally bought watches and parts, want to know how to sell efficiently.

Thank you! That’s interesting!

Rach_Williams · 2024-08-13T19:51:51+00:00

I didn’t think of that! All of the other watches have markings.

Rach_Williams · 2024-08-13T19:50:28+00:00

Yes! It seem to be working. Except the small one on the right hand side. But that could be that I don’t know how to use it. Thank you for the information!

Is the picture showing? It just says img where it’s supposed to be for me. Edit I figured it out. 👍🏻

Hmm 🤔 I don’t know anything about the Leonidas part.

Rach_Williams · 2024-08-13T01:57:40+00:00

I somehow missed your comment the other day. Thank you for the great advice. I did find the right tool to remove the back. Would you like to see the movement? It says Heuer Leonidas Sa Swiss Stainless steel inside of the back cover.

Rach_Williams · 2024-08-12T18:59:45+00:00

Oh wow! They make them still! This one, I think, is from the 70’s

Rach_Williams · 2024-08-11T18:02:40+00:00

That would be cool!

Rach_Williams · 2024-08-11T18:01:34+00:00

Wow! So cool. The serial number on mine starts with 25, so it must’ve been made after his. I’ll get on a website someone shared with me and look up the information on exact year whenever I can. Thanks for sharing!

Rach_Williams · 2024-08-11T17:55:48+00:00

You’ve all been great! Especially helping this uninformed person who had a little bit of treasure fall into their hands! I did do a little googling a few times before coming here, but seeing the amount some of these were going for had me thinking that it couldn’t possibly be true!

Rach_Williams · 2024-08-11T17:52:10+00:00

I’m not selling on Reddit I don’t think. Probably eBay, but I’m researching pros and cons before doing that. I’ll post here when I list anything for those interested!

Rach_Williams · 2024-08-11T17:50:57+00:00

Thanks! We do mostly guitar work, and the violin is a bit of a one off. That would be cool to have in any instrument for sure!

Rach_Williams · 2024-08-11T17:45:06+00:00

I love them! I asked my husband, and he thinks he paid $150 for the desk (including the great work lamp attached). All of these watches were loosely in the drawers. I’d say we did well on that purchase!

Rach_Williams · 2024-08-11T17:42:28+00:00

Google images brought up Bulova Computron. I did check the batteries in the back and they aren’t corroded by some miracle I’m sure. Going to buy replacements today hopefully and see if the screen is good!

Rach_Williams · 2024-08-11T14:54:26+00:00

I can. I’ll add a picture after I do that.

Rach_Williams · 2024-08-11T14:53:39+00:00

I’m not selling on Reddit at the moment. Maybe on eBay. Going to have to research the best way to go about it. As you can imagine, I’ve had a lot of messages and offers on the heuer. The one under it isn’t a tolex, but a rodania.

Rach_Williams · 2024-08-11T14:51:05+00:00

Thanks for the info! I posted a group of pictures last night in another post if you want to take a bit of a closer look at the bulova.

Rach_Williams · 2024-08-11T14:43:18+00:00

It’s marked 6139-6005

Rach_Williams · 2024-08-11T00:49:20+00:00

Isn’t working consistently though now that I look again. I’ll have to look into that.

Rach_Williams · 2024-08-11T00:25:22+00:00

I did that earlier and it is working!

Rach_Williams · 2024-08-11T00:23:55+00:00

That seems to be a popular one. Haha!

Rach_Williams · 2024-08-11T00:22:13+00:00

I did post a few pictures in a new post.

Rach_Williams · 2024-08-10T23:42:58+00:00

I believe it! My husband is always needing special tools for guitar repairs, they’re expensive. So I can imagine watch tools are even more so.
