	Complete Price Guide to Watches: 2002 Click this link to order from Amazon.com Everyone has a copy of this book. Don't go by the prices listed for Hamilton's, or you will never buy a watch. It can give you a fair idea about relative prices however. It covers all major makers of watches, but some complain about the % of information that concentrates only on pocket watches. If you have a good idea about market prices, you can probably do without it. It is however, nice for reference--and a thick paperback.
