Bishop's Vintage American & Swiss Watches

My Home Page interests here are in selling, trading, and buying watches generally. I really like old watches!

I'm selling most of my current collection of watches to renew my collection. Each watch is reasonably priced and my prices track those in the current watch price guides. My watches available for sale consist of 40+ pocketwatches and 30+ wristwatches. Most of these watches have good to pristine mechanical movements, most were made between 1920 and 1970. I have lists available of these collector grade watches for sale which describe each watch in very detailed terms. I also have good quality scans of the watches which I'll be glad to email you, if you're interested.

I am a 10-year member in good standing of the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors and have been collecting for almost 20 years. All watches I sell are backed by a 3-day return policy. References are available upon request. I have been buying, selling and trading watches on the Internet for over three years.
