How to choose a pocket watch

With all the watches available on the market, it is often a hard decision choosing the one that is right for you. Here are some questions that you might want to ask before you buy: Do I want a winder or a quartz movement? What is this watch going to be for? Will I be using this watch, or will it just sit in a closet/cupboard/safe and collect dust?
What is my price limit? What is the availability of this particular model? Do I like how it looks? Do I like the quality? These are all important questions that you must answer before you buy. After all, if you want an extremely high quality watch that is mint condition, I doubt that you will get one for less than $300.
The questions aren't in the order that you should be asking them, but I will explain how to really go about choosing a pocket watch that is right for you:
First off, you should really consider what kind of quality you want and consider the cost that comes along with that quality. I, personally, only like antique pocket watches that meet certain railroad standards and I know that these don't come less than $200 for an OK condition watch. I am willing to pay more than that because I know what kind of standards were set for these watches and the kind of accuracy that comes with them.
Secondly, are you going to use this watch daily? If so or not, than what condition do you want it to be? I prefer to use a good pocket watch, as I trust them more than a battery operated wrist watch, and they also keep better time than a winding wristwatch. If you just want to buy the watch to keep it in a safe, get the best condition one you can afford. It's a better investment, and the better the condition, the more valuable it is in the future if you decide to sell it or pass it on to a family member or friend. If you want to use it, get one that is a little beat up. That way you can't depreciate its value if you drop it or it gets the normal wear and tear from everyday use and abuse.
Third, what is it's availability? If you want a watch that is in high demand, than you might have a problem getting your hands on it for the price you want, as there will be someone else who might be more willing to pay more than you are willing to. If you want a watch that has a good desirability, but no one is really buying it because they want another, you don't really need to consider this step. This step is usually for watches that are rare, have a high value, have a good amount of precious metals made into it, or have an unusually high desirability. If you just want a cheap Elgin, don't worry, there are tens of thousands of them ready to be purchased at any given time.
The most important thing to consider, but it should be the last as it will not usually affect the cost, is whether you like the way it looks. Do you really want a watch that you just can't stand to look at for even two seconds? No one does, and no one probably would. Really consider if you like how it looks, inside and out, because if you don't like it, chances are you aren't going to be as careful with it than if you did like it.
With reaching this last paragraph, you are one step closer to getting that watch of your dreams. Remember this little saying when you go to purchase your first watch, or another watch to add to your collection, "You get what you pay for." If you remember that, than you will never have a watch that you want to get rid of.
Choosing a good watch is a hard choice for you,but there are some top brand watches in the market,such as Rolex,Omega,Richard Mille,Porsche Design,Tag Heuer,U-Boat,Bell&Ross and Breitling.
