perhaps someone knows where can I find a public database for watches and their reference numbers? Timepieces are quite standardized and I would be very interested on checking it out for a personal project. Something like this would be helpful:

I have found my answer but it is unfortunately a vague one, I had to resort to reviewing manually (scraping) some of the watch selling websites there are but a lot of post-data quality control has to be done.

What tool are you using to scrape? I've used rvest / selectorgadget with good success. – Marcus D May 13 '16 at 14:32

1so why don't you post that data for others to use? you can always add it to the open data se datahub.io repository – albert May 14 '16 at 01:36
