: Carl,

: I have found these kinds of watches both on
: eBay and from online vintage dealers. Many
: dealers have a grace period during which you
: can resolve problems while eBay sales are
: usually final. Be careful on eBay as true
: bargains are getting harder to find so have
: an idea what a watch is truly worth before
: bidding.

: You gain the knowledge by starting at the
: bottom and working up like just about any
: worthwhile pursuit. I like to follow
: examples on eBay by watching what the piece
: will sell for even though I have no
: intention of bidding. I also scan the
: dealers periodically and get an idea about
: the prices they are asking. After a while
: you get a constantly improving idea of what
: something might be worth.

: Go to the link below and click on vintage under
: the dealers category. Then start surfing and
: learning.

Thanks David, I appreciate the help. Nice to find a site with people willing to help rather than creating a long string of insults for asking.
