He claimed that everybody who contacted him inquired about his inventory of unpolished watches, but it was the polished ones that sold quicker. I suppose it could be argued that the WIS buyer prefer unpolished examples, but the casual buyer likes shiny things? |

Polished watches will be cheaper.....that always helps w uneducated buyers.....if a watch is all service parts the real collectors don’t want it anyway so resale will never be high

Was watching the Antique Roadshow the other evening when a fellow came in with what turned out to be a very old, valuable painting. It obviously had a hard life, and was hung in a harsh environment. Surprisingly, the appraiser told the fellow that he would realize a much higher auction price if he cleans and restores the masterpiece. Good thing he didn't bring in a rare watch :) |
