info on watch brands

[hctaw]

Hi-I just found this site recently and I am not sure ,after briefly looking through the many groups, if this discussion group is best for my inquiries now and in the future...any info appreciated. I have a couple of shoeboxes full of old watches that I have simply collected over the years.I have had some restored and I am 'playing' with others' to learn a little while reading on watch repair. Are there any good books or sites on watch identification re the many different brands. Has anybody heard of ROLEIT? Thanks again and please let me know if there is a more appropriate discussion group re watch brands.PS....while I do have some valuable watches,I realize that many brands are not..I simply like to collect.
