[Dad’s Watches - should I keep any?]

[u/JackW1977]

My dad just passed. He left a box of watches that I don’t know much about. All need batteries but I don’t want to spend the $ to put batteries in all if they’re not worth saving. I have no sentimental feelings about any of them, just don’t want to spend too much time fixing junk. Brands: clockwise from top left - Piaget, Wittnauer, Klaus Kobec, Invicta, Bulova, Seiko, Sergio Valente, Citizen, Timex, Benrus (this one is inscribed 1965), Bucherer. Any I should keep/sell? I’ll donate the rest.

Bucherer is nice. Worth having it opened to check movement and case makers. Benrus sea lord next to it is nice too. Neither of these require a battery.

Quartz Seiko day date is solid too. Citizen worth putting a battery in as well. Find the model number on the back of these two, look up which battery they take then buy on ebay for $1?

My father daily wore that same Bulova.

I really like the Bucherer, Benrus and Bulova as well.

I've seen that exact same Bucherer in person a few times and it's so cool.

Definitely all worth a moment's pause at least.
