THis watch is considered valuable because Exacto later became RADO. THey changed the name to Rado because there were actually 2 companies using the Exacto name, one Swiss & the other American. I know this watch and can tell by looking at the shape of the E in in exacto that it is the swiss brand, not the American brand Your is especially valuable because it appears to be in good condition and it has a second hand at the bottom. http://www.equationoftime.com/forums/showthread.php?p=52316 Take a look at the above article. | ||

A bit of hyperbole here regarding the value of this "Exacto" watch. It's interesting historical information about Exacto & Rado that Kgriner has posted but: First, it is a bit of guesswork as to whether this blurry picture is actually an Exacto but, even if it is one, it is impossible to really tell what condition it is in. Second, even in good condition a vintage Exacto watch is not going to be worth a lot of money. Say about $25-$50. In other words don't quit your day job. ;-) Post some in-focus pictures of the watch front, back, and movement if you want some more information. | ||

"hyperbole"??? If the watch has the fancy cursive(esque) E at the beginning of Exacto, then it is the Exacto in question... And naturally the watches' worth is related to its condition, model, and other factors; valuable does not denote money only, especially to a collector Don't quit YOUR day job! |
