I'm a watch geek - and a big fan of Tudor. My mouth fell open when those vintage Tudors appeared! Well done, sir!

Tudor wasn't specifically a Canadian version of the Rolex - it was a cheaper (but still very good). Tudor was founded by the same person who founded Rolex, with the idea of producing a watch at a more 'modest' price.

I’m always amazed how you can open everything with one hand.

My Dad was an Engineer on the railroad, (Northern Pacific then the Burlington Northern) for over 34 years. He left his Hamilton watch to me. It was his pride and joy. He had that watch on him always.

Nice haul. Just a bit of advice, those Accutrons are highly collectable. That Astronaut Mark II if running will fetch a pretty penny. It is not as popular as the original Astronaut but still sought after. Same with those 218 and 219 Accutron Railroad watches. While not as popular as the 214 models (the ones with the crown on the rear), they are still collectable. Those ones you have are for the Canadian market (says R.R. 218 or R.R. 219). They were CNR approved. Also that Waltham pocket watch (time stamp 31:53) is a Waltham Vanguard Up/Down Railroad pocket watch. These are highly collectable and if in good shape would actually be worth more then any of those Tudors you found. The Waltham Up/Down pocket watch(called this because of the power reserve indicator on the top and the seconds on the bottom) allowed its owner to know when the watch was running down and needed to be wound up

I’m not a pen collector but I’d like to see your best pen finds after they have been cleaned up. I love these kinds of videos where you’re not sure exactly what you do have in hand!

I never knew fountain pens were that valuable. I learned something new today. Thanks Alex. Good finds In that box.

I’m so envious of that box of treasure. I like to tinker with watches, so that box would keep me busy for years! BTW, the vintage Bulova Accutrons are more valuable than you think. Collectors will snap those up. Great box of stuff. Have fun!

Yes, I thought the brick and mortar store was cute, but not my favorite part of your channel. Opening these boxes of hidden gems, and the hoarder house cleanouts with surprise finds are the most interesting. Those episodes coupled with your upbeat personality and family are why I keep coming back to your show. I don't even mind the commercials! 😉

You discover such interesting things! So glad you share these online for the rest of us to enjoy.

Love to see you get so excited again. I have to say you have a lot of pep in your step these days. Life is good!

Jesus, what a score my man!! I keep commenting because you keep cracking open one cool find after another, lol. I’ve hit some amazing stuff at estate sales. Actually found a limited edition Paul McCobb fold out card table that the folks running the sale had no clue what it was. Everything else was marked with prices along the lines of what you would expect. But when I slid the double tier top over and saw the seemingly never exposed badge inside the hidden compartment, I laid down that $200 quickly. The thing was worth quite a few thousands of dollars. That so far has been my best score also considering I was very late to the sale, lol. Too cool. 👍🏻😎👍🏻

Railroad grade watches are lever set. Only wind up the spring with the crown. Also set the hands with the crown but not until the bezel is unscrewed and a lever next to the # 2 is pulled out. It was a safety feature that would prevent accidental hand setting while just winding

I always enjoy your treasure hunting!

Wow!! This was so much fun and reminded me I need to have my late Dad's watch working so I can wear it. It's just mind-blowing how much knowledge you have about all items-pens, watched, toys, cars. I learn so much watching you.

I love watching you go through estate treasures! My hubby and I used to love to attend house auctions where we could check out lots of interesting boxes. Very cool! Thanks for sharing 😁

Rolex schmolex. There’s a Sharpie marker! 😁

So many things in a small box great find my brother has my father's watch it's a tutor oyster don't know how old but he had it when I was a young child and I'm now 70 so I guess it's got so age on it lots of nice pens too love watching and hearing the excitement in your voice 😊 ❤ from Australia 🇦🇺

I truly enjoy your unboxings!!!

Thanks for sharing this. I love unboxing videos the most!

That was great fun ....please do more unboxing videos!

OMG! Be careful with the fountain pens! I learned the hard way. I bought two shoe boxes of fountain pens I paid $ 10.00 for both boxes. I buy a lot of things in bulk. We did a an antique show & flea market. The pens were in our van and I never went thru the boxes. My wife put one on the boxes on the table. Just before we were fully set up a guy came up looked at the dirty pens and offered us a 100.00 for the one box of fountain pens. Keep in mind the it was 1974… I was away from our booth and I let my wife sell the box of fountain pens? It was a slow day just the start of the show. After we sold the box…It dawned on me to check out the fountain pens ! I started to look at the pens with an with And by the way a magnifying glass. I almost had a heart attack! The pen tips were marked 18K These were fountain were from the late 1800s I forgot the names but I still have about 70 of the pens at the bottom of the pile of pens there was a light green satin glass ink well. I still have to research the fountain pens but I learned my lesson. Ever once in awhile I come across fountain pens I don’t go anywhere without my magnifying glass. I find lots of gold jewelry as well.

Super enjoyable video, the unboxings are great fun. Always learn something too since you are so knowledgeable.

What a fabulous discovery and purchase! I was excited WATCHING it! ...sorry, dad joke lol

What a blast! And two of your favorite things. Cool beans!

Oh my goodness Alex, I looked up tudor rolex watches; and wow, they are worth A LOT! I know I didn't have to tell you that! Great score! This was so much fun to watch, thanks again for sharing with us!

Wow what an amazing score! I love my watches. Thanks for sharing this as it was so interesting.

What a great score on those watches! You're a very blessed man!

Great video Brother Alexander. Love Your passion for Vintage collectables ! Thanks always for sharing Your Adventures 😀 👍 ♥️ 🇨🇦 🎉🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉🎉💯💯💯💯💯

Calling a Tudor ”Rolex” is like calling a Toyota ”Lexus”.

Glad your still entertaining us….Alex thank you

What an amazing find! You hit the jackpot!

This is my favorite type of video.

Loved learning about the watches

I love these types of videos! :) Also I love seeing old watches! I don't collect but I love them either way.

It is so nice to learn about all these items in your video!

As a watchmaking student, and long time collector and watch enthusiast, these videos make me howl! LOL. I'm super jealous and glad that you at least appreciate these vintage watches. That diver (black dial and bezel) was swiss made, probably worth quite a lot also. I love these videos.

Bulova diver was probably the most desirable across the board even above the Tudors

Alex glad to see your so happy with your purchase your in watch heaven

Really like the unboxings. Thanks for sharing.

I usually fast forward through the sponsor portion of videos, but got quite a kick out of your voice over for Manscape. I'm sure that other eagle eye viewers probably noticed that you started out your reveal of the estate box at the old house and finished at the new house!

I just love these videos! I feel like I'm right there, going through the loot and digging through treasure

I love a good wrist watch. I think I enjoyed this almost as much as you did. Great finds in there. ❤

You are the ONLY UKpostsr who has NOT cracked jokes while advertising Manscaped products: your maturity in unparalleled 😂👍

The Waltham pocket watch with the wind indicator @ 31:53 is a high grade watch most likely a railroad grade watch and a bit more rare, they can sell for $1000.00 and higher depending on the movement

Wow! If you put those pocket watches and fobs up for auction I need to make sure to post it on all the Steampunk groups I’m on.

Knowing that antique Waterman's ink bottles are collectable, my ears perked up when you mentioned the Waterman Fountain Pen. That collection of pocket watches is really nice. I would hazard to say that you definitely got a good bargain when you bought this box.

“Having Alex fun!” 🤣🤣🤣. Congrats on the big score! Wow, I have never seen so many watches in one place!

My parents used to sell timex watches in their grocery store in the seventies, they had a display with these watches on the counter. I had one with black leather straps, have no idea what happened to it. These days I tell time with my phone.

Wow!! Nice score. Take care.

Hi Alex, Riveting post content. Thanks for taking us along for your heart pounding journey and congrats on the score. I’ve been hunting for an Accutron watch as is. Wondering if you’re going to sell individually? If yes, then please share where and when. Good luck in your endeavors. Cheers!

great to see you have such fun! ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I'm glad this made it up today, but I'm even more glad that you did a sponsorship with Manscaped 🤣🤣🤣 that cracks me straight up 🤣🤣

I learn so much from watching you go through these old boxes. It's a lot of fun!

Great score. I have been a fan of the Sheaffer pens since I picked up a couple at my college bookstore in 1979.

I'm fascinated just watching you go through those watches!

Watch guy here… I think you made out pretty good. I was salivating

I can't believe how much stuff you know about so much stuff! Mindboggling!

Enjoyed the hunt through the box with you. Some nice finds. Some of those early Accutron's are highly collectable. Sell those individually, not bulk. Of course the Tudors were the best finds. The Railroad Pocket Watches are also highly collectable. Nice find and a lot of fun. Thanks!

You are moving, selling a business, auctioning of business antiques, building a house and working at the same time! You need to do a video on time mgmt! Not to mention you have a lovely family!

This was a really interesting video. I no longer costume but I kept having ideas regardless.

What a great score! Very nice. Nice to see you surprised and excited!

Wow that was fun... :) Thanks for taking us with you on going through that box! Home freaking run for you easily over 10K in watches.. best video yet ....

I love when you do watches & Jewely, I was surprised you didn’t keep the Hamilton!? On to the next treasure ❤

Another Grand Slam Home Run there Alex. I see MANY thousands of dollars of watches in the box.

A fantastic approach to the Manscape promotion!!

Really enjoyed this video. I am excited for you! Keep sharing man.

This is really neat to watch thanks for sharing!

I have to admit, that was not a sponsor I expected to see on this channel! (Does Alex manscape? Do we really want to know? Does anyone but Melissa really _need_ to know?) You know what else sells really well, at least potentially, are vintage watchmaking tools. New ones are so expensive that hobbyists often resort to Ebay and other sources for used. Next time you're buying from a watchmaker's estate, I'd definitely be interested in any tools you happen to find. Staking sets, jeweling tools, smoothing broaches, bench micrometers/gauges (particularly JKA Feintaster), cleaning machines, lathes, etc. are all in demand.

Hahaha great choice of music for your sponsor - funny.

Also someone really liked stretchy watch bands, a lot, was awesome seeing the quality watches on proper leather watch bands, really brought the beauty of the watches out more…Very amazing watches. Learned a bit also from watching. Thx

Great episode! You got some really great nice stuff! Congrats

Wow, Alex! Great finds and fun to "watch" you sort thru! 🍀

Recently I was gifted a large assortment of old pocket watches and wrist watches from a terminally ill friend of my husband. I have no experience or available information on what to look for as far as value. Where would you suggest I begin my research on this wonderful inheritance. I'm in my 70's and many of these are older than me. Thanks in advance.

That Hamilton 940 will easily get you between 2-300. The Montgomery dial bumps it up a bit too. Yeah, that Tudor pushed you way over your investment. That Waltham pocket watch at the bottom of the box was high end. It has a wind gauge

Loved that box . I wear a Hamilton and Bulova all the time. Did like that ball watch

Some very nice watches for sure. Have a great day

woohoo!!! Great Score!!

I'm glad I found your channel, I enjoyed this vid and learned ALOT. thanks

Seems this was this man’s life’s work in a box! A lot of gems in there great viewing!

A collector of time pieces. Nifty.

We look at something and see nothing much. You look at it and see a jewel. Love it!

My father loved the Accutron watches. They were the only watch he would wear, until he retired. Seeing them brought back some great memories.

This video was exciting! Thanks for sharing this with us!

Congrats on the Awesome finds Alexander! I was surprised at your paid promotion ad. I guess this means you approve and it works for you.:-)

Good find with the watches. Would like to buy one with the 21 jewels for my husband.. he lost his out hunting 😊

Thank you for filming this…very educational!

At 8:30that “mainspring” is actually a balance wheel and it has the same job as a pendulum would do on bigger clocks.

I had a fake Rolex back in the 80’s. Don’t think I’ve worn a watch since then.

Love the cat clock. Quite a bit in that box and some really nice things.

I love watching those sorts of videos well done .x

Wow! Thanks Alex!

Cool watches!

I think those Accutrons are as good a find as the Tudors, especially with the original cases and tags

Wow! You did great on the watches my friend! I have been meaning to say, " Thank you bunches, Alex" for always sharing interesting and pertinent information, in an easily understood fashion for a newbie to the watch world like me!! Peace to all...💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙💜

You are amazing with your wide range of knowledge, that was a grand purchase for you. Congratulations on taking a chance . God bless

Cat clock - I got one like it new in 1968.

i think it's great you are giving new life to these watches. This is also great for the planet instead of ending up in the trash somewhere. now, someone else can enjoy.

Nice haul. Enjoyed.
