Comber was not only surprised that the watch he had worn for decades was a treasure, but he was also surprised that the young man in front of him was still doing appraisal work and dealing with antiques.

He took off his watch and handed it to Zhao Tianming: "Young man, take a serious look." ”

Zhao Tianming took it in his hand, looked at it for a while, and continued: "In recent years, with the heating up of the collection fever, the old clocks and watches have a great tendency to appreciate, which is concerning. Nowadays, some of the famous watches of the past are not cheap in the collectors at home and abroad. ”

"Rich watches, precious clocks", there is such a sentence in the European and American collecting circles, and during the Kang Yongqian period of the Qing Dynasty in China, due to the emperor's love, the exquisite and gorgeous table clock was also once popular, but after the liberation, it gradually faded out of people's field of vision.

The older the clock is, the more it can attract people's enthusiasm for collecting and preserving its value; Rare old clocks, pocket watches, and watches appreciate rapidly and are worth collecting. Of course, modernly made, rare, and fixed-size commemorative watches are also collectible.

Whenever there is a group of people who are obsessed with the good things of the past. Whether it's nostalgia or collecting, the allure of an antique watch is like an old bottle of wine that only grows stronger and more mellow with the passage of time.

These, I believe that Zhou Yun is not difficult to understand. Other antiques may be less touched, but antique clocks and watches are common in society, and even young people are keen to invest in collecting.

"Comber's watch is a brand-name product, right?" asked Zhou Yun.

Whether it is an antique or not, only the brand goods are better done, and they are more valuable.

Zhao Tianming smiled: "It's indeed a brand of goods, have you heard of Vacheron Constantin?"

Comber may not have heard of it, but Zhou Yun has heard of this brand of watch, which is said to be a world-famous brand. In this case, Comber really has a collection of expensive watches.

Zhao Tianming explained that Vacheron Constantin is the oldest watch manufacturer in the world and one of the most famous in the world. Vacheron Constantin has made a significant contribution to the world of watchmaking by inheriting the best of Swiss watchmaking tradition, while also innovating many watchmaking techniques.

"Isn't that valuable?" Zhou Yun asked.

Comber also got serious, and wanted to know how much the watch he got back from the devil was worth.

"The value of a vintage watch has to be analyzed in many ways, and the brand is only one of the factors. In addition, style, condition, history, functionality, and materials are all very important. Zhao Tianming didn't immediately tell them how much it was worth.

In auctions, the watch brand plays a rather important role, so the larger the brand, the higher the collectible value. The dominance of luxury watches in today's market, such as the world's top 10 watches voted by consumers, is largely an indication of the brand's recognition in the market.

Whether your watch is a limited edition or not also greatly affects the price.

In addition, the complication of the clock is also one of the conditions for appreciation. For example, the sun, moon and stars, moon phase function, perpetual calendar, tachometer, oscillating meter, sounder, etc.

"In terms of time, the world's most famous watches produced before the Second World War and even earlier are more valuable, including pocket watches and wristwatches, which not only have the realistic function of keeping time, but also reflect the social and cultural background of the era in which they were born. Zhao Tianming said.

The most precious case material is platinum, which is 18K gold, 14K gold, 9K gold, silver, gold-filled, silver-pasted, and steel. Among the karat gold, red gold is the most precious.

In addition, under the same conditions, special-shaped watches are more valuable than regular watches, such as square shells are more expensive than round shells, rectangular shells are more expensive than square shells, and triangular ones are more expensive than square ones.

Zhou Yun and they were dizzy when they heard it, this is too exquisite, right?

Appraisal work is really not something that ordinary people can do. There are too many aspects that you need to divide, and ignoring one of them will cause huge losses, which proves the saying: the difference is a thousand miles!

"From the point of view of quality and brand, this watch is not low. Just these two aspects are worth tens of thousands. Zhao Tianming continued.

As for the material, because the case is made of ordinary stainless steel, and the hands are platinum, it immediately doubles the value of the watch.

"Isn't this going to be more than 100,000 yuan?" Zhou Yun said in surprise.

Gradually, other old people slowly gathered around, and when they learned that Lao Kang's watch was an antique, they were also very curious about how much it was worth, and they pricked up their ears to listen.

"It's normal for an antique watch to exceed 100,000, and if it's a limited edition, don't be surprised if it's a million!" Zhao Tianming told everyone.

"Lao Kang, you will be a person with hundreds of thousands of lines in your body in the future. An old man joked.

Comber was also nervous, such an expensive watch could not be worn on his hand casually in the future, it had to be locked. If you lose it or break it, you will feel so distressed.

In the future, this watch can also be left to children and grandchildren, which can be regarded as the last property left to them after their death.

The old man has lived for so long, he sees everything relatively lightly, and the only thing he cares about is the offspring. Although his children are not very filial to him, they are still missed in his heart.

As a parent, sometimes the idea is so simple, so that there is a pity for the world's parents.

"Comber, keep it in the future. Zhou Yun reminded.

Comber smiled and said, "Got it, I'll take it back and lock it up later, okay?"

After staying for more than an hour, Zhao Tianming and the others were about to leave, when they heard that Comber had quarreled with his youngest son, and the two rushed over to see what was going on.

Comber's youngest son is a gambler, and he is also one of Comber's sons who hates iron and steel the most. Several children separated from each other a long time ago, and the younger son lost to the point where the other siblings became strangers because of his enthusiasm for gambling. The wife and children at home suffered together.

This time, the daughter-in-law brought her grandson and granddaughter to the old people's home to complain, saying that the family did not dare to go back.

Comber was so angry that he called his youngest son on the spot and called the stinky boy over to give a lecture!

So, the two soon quarreled, and the gambler's son became irritable and even wanted to beat someone. The old people in the nursing home, seeing this scene, were all embarrassed. Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read!

"That old house, no one lives in it anyway, don't you sell it and keep the old mouse? Don't worry, I won't swallow it alone, I will discuss it with the eldest and second. The middle-aged man with messy hair said loudly.

The loan shark at the casino has made it clear that if he can't get together any money this week, he will cut off one of his hands.

But right now, the only thing that can get money is the old mansion that was originally reserved for the old man to live in. Anyway, the old man himself moved into the old people's home, and the old house was empty.

Comber couldn't help but raise his hand on the spot, and he was about to fan it.

The old man next to him all grabbed the old man who was about to run away and persuaded him one by one.

Next to the old man, there was also a woman and a child in his teens.
