Did you know that the wristwatch was first invented by Swiss watch maker Patek Phillippe in the late 1800s? During this time, wrist watch was worn only by women. It was considered to be a women's fashion accessory.
The first man's wristwatch was invented by Louis Cartier around the beginning of the 20th century. It was actually intended for the Brazilian inventor Alberto Santos-Dumont who has requested Cartier to design a watch that would be more convenient than a pocket watch. Dumont was then working on the invention of the aero plane and found it difficult and inconvenient to always look at a pocket watch.
Cartier created a leather-band wristwatch for Dumont and it was the start of it all. The popularity of men's wristwatch became apparent as Cartier was able to sell watches even to the armies. It had its breakthrough during the First World War when armies and artilleries have found it more convenient and useful for accurate timekeeping. Soon wristwatches have been an item among the middle-class Western culture.
Even at this time, wristwatch is still in the mainstream. Manufacturers have been keeping up with technological advances and are continuously creating different designs and features to suit everyone's need. Here is a top ten list of men's wristwatch that you can sell in e-bay:
1. The Tissot Men's PRS 516 Retrograde Watch
2. The Suunto Regatta Wrist-Top Boating Computer Watch
3. The Immersion Men's Stream Chronograph Black Leather Watch
4. The Seiko Men's Kinetic Silver-Tone Watch

You can buy these items in wholesale online like e-Bay, Amazon, Yahoo Shopping and Salehoo. What you can do is resell them to your friends or neighbors with an add-on price. Of course, you can only sell it if you got it with a fairly competitive price giving you the chance to earn a profit.
The best way to do it is to buy it in bulk from the list of suppliers, drop shippers or wholesale distributors of Salehoo. Why Salehoo? Apart from the reason that Salehoo is a popular website directory, it continues to adapt to the volatile market. It is not only popular because of the number of suppliers that they have on the list but because of the service that they have been exceptionally providing to its customers. To name a few, they have been adding more suppliers to give members a wider selection; they create ways for a more user-friendly experience, a better interface; and, they are improving their tools to help users succeed in the selling endeavor.
