What’s junk to one person, is often gold to another. When it comes to old and used watch parts, this can often be the case.

Watch hobbyists, often known as horologists, often enjoy the art of upgrading old watches by finding high-quality parts on eBay or some other watch auction site.

People who repair watches are keenly aware that sometimes the only way to find a necessary part for a rare watch is to identify the part in the midst of salvage. Older parts might also work better than newer parts because of the relative date on which they were manufactured (if a part was manufactured closer in time to the original watch, it is more likely to work).

Many watchmakers begin their hobby by taking apart an old broken watch and becoming fascinated with the inner parts. An old watch combined with a nice selection of salvaged parts, and a beginner’s set of horology tools make the perfect gift for a burgeoning watch hobbyist.

One of the most popular watch hobbies today is pocket watch collection. Pocket watches are often passed down as heirlooms and also serves as great collector’s items. Because of their size, pocket watches are also a great place to get started with repair and modification. Fixing or upgrading a pocket watch starts by selecting the right set of pocket watch salvage.

Whatever your interest as a watch hobbyist, or if you’d like to foster a love of watches in someone you love, it could be that the best place to start is with some watch part salvage that’s waiting to be put together and understood.
