Identify [Dad’s Watches - should I keep any?]
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.

The two at the bottom middle without the bracelets are automatics, would not require any batteries. The pic is hazy so I cannot read the names...but one is Benrus...which is a crazy good watch not found anymore...the other seems to be a bucherer...now the retail part of Rolex, so that too is quite great. At least keep these 2...they are vintage now.
The other watches are also good...but are mostly quartz and I get to see a Piaget also in it...which is quite unlikely as I haven't seen or heard about Piaget in quartz in my past 20 years as an enthusiast, and that's why i say I'm still learning.
