We predicted many years ago that LED\/LCD would become collectible, and, indeed, these types of watches have an important, though not well-defined, position in the collectibles marketplace. Because of the myriad of complications available on them, these can be worth $20-$30 for parts or $20,000 for early examples, like the early 18-karat gold\u00a0Pulsar<\/a>\u00a0(shown below; only a few hundred were made). As with other watches, it depends on how many were manufactured and, most importantly, the condition.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Watches must run for maximum value. If you are not using them, take the battery out, as it will leak and ruin the watch. Pictured above, bottom left; is one of the earliest LED watches; it was produced by Riehl and is highly collectible. These rarely work, but nevertheless have value \u2014 because they were groundbreaking. Most people think that Pulsar, unveiled in 1970, was the first. Not so. Also in the shop is one we are attempting to repair for a billionaire philanthropist from California. Because they made only about 400, parts are difficult to find for this ultra-rare Pulsar P1.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
