Watch value checker & identifier
Point your camera at any vintage or collectible watch and Minti reads the dial and case to identify the brand, model, and reference number, then shows what comparable watches are worth from recent eBay sold listings and auction results. Identify it, track it, and sell it, all in one app.
How much is your vintage watch worth?
Book prices go stale the moment they're printed. Minti checks what watches are actually selling for right now by pulling comparable values from recent eBay sold listings and auction results, so a dress watch, a diver, or a hard-to-place chronograph all get a value grounded in real sales.
- Comparable value from recent eBay sold listings and auction results
- Values framed by brand, model, reference, and condition so the estimate fits your exact watch
- Price history across 7-day, 1-month, 6-month, and 1-year windows
Identify any watch in seconds
Not sure exactly what you're holding? Minti's AI reads the dial and case to identify the brand, model, and reference number, and works out whether the movement is automatic, quartz, or manual. It separates similar-looking models and flags common redials and aftermarket parts to watch for, so your entry stays accurate.
- Reads the dial signature, case shape, and markings to name the brand and model
- Distinguishes near-identical references and points out likely redials or swapped parts
- Auto-fills movement type, condition, and attributes so your entry stays clean
What drives a watch's value
A watch's price comes down to more than the name on the dial. The biggest factors are originality, condition, box and papers, and the movement. An all-original dial and case with a full set commands far more than a redialed example or a lone watch head. Recording these details in Minti keeps your estimate honest and comparable to real sales.
- Originality: original dial, hands, crown, and case finishing versus service or aftermarket parts
- Condition: dial and case wear, crystal, and how sharp the case lines still are
- Box and papers: original box, papers, receipts, and matching accessories for a full set
- Movement: automatic, quartz, or manual, and whether it is running and serviced
Organize your watch collection
Keep your watches in sets and folders that mirror how you actually collect. Every item carries its images, movement type, condition, and current value, and your portfolio total updates as the market moves, so you always know what your case is worth.

Vintage watch FAQ
How do I find out what my watch is worth?
Scan the watch with Minti. The AI reads the dial and case to identify the brand, model, reference number, and movement type, then values it against recent eBay sold listings and auction results so you see what comparable watches are actually selling for right now, not an outdated book price.
Can Minti identify a watch's brand, model, and reference?
Yes. Minti reads the dial signature, case shape, and markings to identify the brand, model, and reference number, and works out whether the movement is automatic, quartz, or manual. It also helps distinguish similar models and flag common redials or aftermarket parts to watch for.
Does box and papers matter for a watch's value?
Yes. Original box, papers, receipts, and matching accessories can add meaningfully to value because they support originality and completeness. Minti lets you record whether a watch is complete so its estimate reflects a full set versus a watch head only.
Is Minti free to use?
Yes. Minti is free to download and includes a monthly allowance of AI scans, plus organizing, value tracking, and marketplace access. Paid tiers raise the scan and storage limits for larger collections.
