"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 "There have been thousands of price changes in the world of watches, which makes it essential for any serious collector or collector's library to keep updated versions of the Complete Price Guide To Watches on hand. Not for the casual collector, this 'bible' packs in some 1,000 pages of values and detail, offering up identification keys, tips on comparing movements and styles, and much more. The black and white photos of watches are just large enough to make identification easier." — The Bookwatch, "This book has become the standard reference among watch collectors.
