Contact

This site is a one-person project, and hearing from fellow enthusiasts is one of the real pleasures of running it. Whether you have a question, a correction, or simply want to share something from your own collection, you are warmly welcome to get in touch.

What to Write About

A few of the things readers most often get in touch about:

• Corrections. If something on the site is wrong or out of date, please say so. Accuracy is the whole point of a reference, and well-founded corrections are genuinely appreciated.
• Identification and dating questions. General questions about types, makers and how to date a watch are welcome. Please understand that a single individual cannot offer formal valuations or authenticate watches by email, but pointers in the right direction are always possible.
• Image permissions and sources. If you are the rights-holder of an image used here and have any query about it, or if you would like to offer a photograph for use, please get in touch and it will be dealt with promptly.
• Friendly notes. Stories, finds and shared enthusiasm are always a delight to receive.

Response Times

Because the site is written and maintained by one person alongside everything else life involves, replies are not instant — please allow a few days, and a little longer during busy periods. Every genuine message is read.

A Note on Valuations

The most common request is “what is my watch worth?” The honest answer is that a reliable valuation needs the watch in hand, or at least good photographs and the full movement and case details. The values guide explains how to research this yourself, and for anything important a professional appraisal is the right course — see the notes on getting an appraisal. For dating an American watch, the serial number lookup tool will usually give you a year directly.
