7. Elgin Pocket Watch Appraisal
Movement – It should be original with no
replacement pieces ideally. Look for wear and
tear as a well looked after watch is always more
TEXT
valuable than one with worn down parts. Does
the movement work and does it keep good time?
Dial – Look for cracks, fading of the dial face
TEXT
or discolouring. With dial faces get a strong
magnifying glass and look very closely for
TEXT
hairline cracks or stressed areas.
TEXT
Case – Again with the case look for scratches,
chips, dents and general condition. What is the
case made of? Inscriptions will likely reduce
value unless for someone famous.
