Are wind-up watches from the 1970s and 1980s still valuable?

Domestic watches produced before the Cultural Revolution are valuable, but watches produced a long time after the Cultural Revolution are not valuable. From the style design to the appearance, it is difficult to look at it and there is no beauty. The hour and minute hands are a long piece of chrome-plated iron, and the second hand is not very distinctive. The dial is inlaid with 12 square heads, which looks bulky. Not as good looking as the old Shanghai watch needles of the past. It's even more different than a Swiss watch. Moreover, the styles of several major watch manufacturers are similar. Therefore, the current market stall price is only worth 5 to 8 yuan. (Which one looks better in comparison?)

Personally, I think watches can tell time and are also jewelry, but they are different from diamonds, jewelry, gold and other jewelry.

Is it worth it? Being valuable does not mean that it is valuable just because it has a history of 30 to 50 years. To be valuable in such a short period of time, some conditions must be met. 1. First of all, it must be genuine and it must be a brand watch. 2. It must be original and have no missing parts or replacement parts. Everything is well preserved. The most important thing is that it is sold in limited edition. There are only a few pieces in the world. Only such a watch is valuable. Although it is valuable and special, such a watch has to meet watch collectors to become valuable. Otherwise, it is useless. Those Basic watches are basically worthless, and it is difficult to keep the original value.

In addition, if you want to be valuable, you have to wait 300 or 500 years later. At that time, with the development of technological civilization, our era The things may have become antiques, and they may be worth some money at that time

Again, you still have to meet collectors to be valuable. Some things are valuable in the hands of those who need them. It’s worthless in the hands of people who don’t need it

Personally, I think you can try to sell it, don’t have high hopes, it’s best to keep it as a souvenir for yourself

Old domestic watches are a kind of sentiment. And don’t judge it by whether it’s worth money or not! If you have to ask the truth, my answer is: most of them are worthless at this stage! Some items are valuable! Those with low production volume and good quality are valuable, such as Shanghai A581, A611, 1523, etc., which are nearly ten times more than their original value! Some watches cannot be bought with money, such as the Five-Star brand produced in Tianjin in 1955, the Dongfanghong brand produced in Shanghai in 1955, and the Qiyi brand produced in Nanjing in 1955. . . .

From the birth of two Si∩daca five-star watches in Tianjin in 1955 to 2000 years ago, there were more than 130 watch companies in the country, and there were 17 watch companies in Shanghai alone. There are as many as 310 watch brands. As time goes forward, most of these companies and watch brands have been lost in the long river of history! Personally, I feel that these national enterprises should not be completely submerged by Swiss and Japanese watches in the industry and field of watchmaking in our country, and should leave traces of their efforts as long as possible!

In fact, now that I look back at old domestic watches, I see many advantages, and some are also unique in style, light, thin, and simple. . . These are the directions pursued by the current watch lovers. If your opinion is the same as mine, love domestically produced watches for the sake of the memories of the past!

Is it valuable?

Domestic products are priceless. At that time, Shanghai Navy Watch also created a first-generation design. At the same time, Swiss Rolex’s calendar dial was still slow-adjusted, while Shanghai’s real-time dial back was fast-adjusted. Today, domestic watch tourbillons are at the forefront. I hope that domestic watches will make breakthroughs in terms of anti-magnetic and long-lasting power

The first watch I bought was a Shanghai Chunlei in 1975, which cost 125 yuan. I wore it for ten years and applied oil three times during that time.

Your question, this type of watch, the wind-up watches from the 1970s and 1980s, are genuine and valuable; if you like the genuine ones, you can collect them as one type!

Definitely not worth the money!

If it is in good condition, it can be sold to collectors and should fetch a better price!
