Product Description

Review

This book has become the standard reference among watch collectors. The impressive price guide features not only page after page of pocket, wrist, and other watches listed by manufacturer, but photos and illustrations of watch movements along with records of serial and grade numbers for the movements. Its 5" x 8" size is convenient for toting to the flea market or auction house. -Brimfield Antique Guide

5.0 out of 5 stars The best and most comprehensive guide to watches., 11 April 1999
By A Customer
This giant latest edition (19th) contains over 1,100 pages and covers over 10,000 watches. 7,500 are illustrated. It provides a wealth of information useful to the novice or professional collector or dealer. Not only is it a price guide, but it has a huge amount of information, including grading, how a watch works, how to date a watch, history, coding and much, much more. It has so much data, one wonders how they were able to assemble it all. The volume is really a bargain at its price. Wonderful reference !!

3.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource but inaccurate pricing, 31 Oct 2003
By Robin Armstrong "madaboutwatches" (Waterlooville, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The 'Complete price guide to watches' has worked its way into a position as the authoriative watch dealers companion work more by default than any other reason. There is no other competitive work and judging by the sheer number of entries and thickness of the book its easy to see why no one else has attempted to produce a rival. Unfortunately the prices quoted bear little or no resemblance to those being traded in the 'real' world with most prices severely lower than even the best trade sources could uncover. I would be a very rich man if I could obtain collectable watches at the low prices quoted in this book. The pictures are also very poor, along with little differentiating information between similar models. There is still a wealth of information in here and a bargain compared to the bulk of watch books available. Its a must have for anyone interested in watches despite its shortcomings.

3.0 out of 5 stars a lot of very good information, but rather difficult to use, 15 Mar 1999
By A Customer
Clearly an exellent work that is desirable to all collectors. However, there is so much information that is is somewhat difficult to access -it should have a substantial index overhall and expansion so that it is listed by alpha, brand name, topic, serial nos, usa, uk, germ, switz, etc. with duplicated items. Every time you use the book you find a page that is usefull that you did not know was there. No one has the time to read the whole book, so its efficiency is key to its user value and should be updated. i should be able to go to the index and see "patek philippe serial numbers" or "hamilton repeater values" or "english fusee makers" or "railroad ...., and see a page number(s). I would also like to see the 0 to 5 star assignment to all items over 500.00 dlrs based on potential feature value to serious collectors and dealers. But, it is still a great book for twenty bucks!
