Daniel Fock - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: 100 Years of Vintage Watches, Second Edition (Vol i) (Paperback)

Disappointing. Little if any information about European and English watches. Misleading title should be call American watches and a few others.

Unless you are into American watches - a waste of time and money

(REAL NAME)

This review is from: 100 Years of Vintage Watches: A Collector's Identification & Price Guide (Paperback)

The book has thousands of pictures of watches, mostly pocket ones. However, it does not cover the history of such watches It's just a picture timetable of watch development.

Steve Saunders (East Coast) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 100 Years of Vintage Watches: A Collector's Identification & Price Guide (Paperback)

Shugart's 'Price Guide' has received some flack in Amazon's past reviews. However flawed, it's still the gold standard for valuing timepieces. I found Judy's book both disjointed in its organization, and naive in its assessment of watch pricing. Bottom line; if you're looking for a coffee table book with some pretty pictures, '100 Years of Vintage Watches' will fit the bill. If you buy, sell, or collect watches, stick with Shugart.
