If you were so ready to dismiss any second hand watch as faulty and worthless, you should from now on think more about it. Second hand watches, especially those brand watches are quite valuable for collection for several reasons.

Second hand watches value in most cases lies in their rarity. As we all know when a thing is scare, it is precious, as is the case with watches. Some limited editions of brand watches may be worth much more than their purchase price. For example, my friend once bought a second hand branded watch of the 50th anniversary limited series for more than its original price several years ago. Those watches are rare on the market and not so many people are willing to offer to sell, so if there is any, they can prove quite expensive.

Some second hand watches are mechanical watches, which fully demonstrate the value of watches. In spite of their small watch movements, they boast all the functions a watch can have, from time keeping to the display of calendar, week and month. To make such a watch, the watchmaker must put an enormous amount of work and efforts in it.

If a second hand watch is neither a brand name nor a mechanical watch, it doesn't mean that it has no value for collection. Some second hand watches are worth quite a lot because they are so uniquely designed that there are none like them on the market. Their exquisite workmanship or distinctive style makes them so different from the others though they may be from a small time designer or a manufacture. They are valuable because they are unique.

In a word, second hand watches, because of their limited numbers or various functions, superb workmanship or unique design and style are valuable for collection. So once you accidentally get a second hand watch, think twice before selling it.
