    There can be, but this one has a busted face and some other cosmetic damage. The mechanism still works fine, but this particular watch isn’t really gonna be worth anything to anyone but us.

    Other watches she’s repaired have been worth up to a few hundred dollars. …Which actually isn’t that much for watches. At the high end, the really bonkers shit can cost over 100K. These sorts of watches are hand built by master craftsmen and take a really long goddamn time to make (hence the price). But they tend to be absolutely gorgeous and marvels of mechanical engineering.

    So, as watches go, she’s paddling about in the shallows, repairing things like the odd Tissot or Omega, which can be valuable-ish. But usually sub-200, occasionally up to $600-700.
