Product Description: This annual book is a mini-encyclopedia with over 1,000 pages, over 10,000 watches listed with current values, and more than 7,000 illustrations. American and European pocket watches, wrist watches, Swatch wrist watches, and even comic watches fill this comprehensive guide.
Worthless in many aspects. Complete Price Guide to Watches 2008. This said guide is quite inacurate, the authors just copied the same old stuff of previous books and tried to imitate the real stuff that their competitors do, I am referring to the rel thing, that is titled and has been "number one" for many years: WRIST WATCH PRICE GUIDE, by Sherry & Roy Ehrhardt and Joe DeMesy.
Some of the prices of wrist watches are just plain lies, plaese take a look at page 1086 and you can see the STOWA 20-221 Military watch. Ca. 1942 at the incredible price from $400 to $800 dollars. This is just a plain lie, this watch, if you ever find one, costs aroun 5 to 10,000 dollars.
What do this people think, that is the publishers of this so called price guide,about the people that buy this worthless, that we are morons?. I am so sorry to have waisted my time and money on a piece of printed junk...
A very disatisfied reader... Jose Casas
Price Guide for Watches I got this for my husband to use in our business. He says it's been very helpful. I got it to update his old one.
Complete price guide to watches A good source for information but to refer to the guide as "complete" would be streching it a bit.
complete price guide to watches Use the book often in my work. A great addition. Thanks for the fast shipping.
Conflicts of Interest? One of the best watch books around, it basically plods along, virtually unchanged, year, after year. Except for price updates, and a new cover every year, this book is getting long in the tooth. My main problem is realistic pricing, which would not serve the authors, primarily Tom Engle, who is a high-end watch dealer. Many items are underpriced, in my opinion, and do not reflect real world pricing.
