To get an idea of the market value of Hamilton vintage wristwatches, this Harris sold in 2013, for $63.13 at auction on eBay. The one below has a price of $450, now that the concept of supply and demand has finally emerged.
The market for vintage Hamilton wristwatches has surprised me – not just from a seller’s point of view, but a buyers also. I bought a nice Ryan for $43 a week ago. I expected it to sell for more, but it stopped working during the listing period and the seller had to disclose that.
One might understand the market dynamics if they made sense. A shrinking supply normally means higher prices. In this case, approximately 350 Hamilton vintage gents wristwatches are for sale in the United States. Go figure.
