hi, i was given my grandfather's watch. does anybody know which year and model it is ? and possible value ? the only clue I have: my grandfather died in the early 70's so it is at least from the 70's or earlier (leather band was replaced) thanks

Generally, the case reference number will be marked inside the case back. It's most likely a 1950s watch. Is it a bumper automatic? What is the case made of? |

i haven't managed to open it i will ask a jeweller sometimes... what i know is that it still works: i just have to wear it and my wrist's movements do the rest. So, i guess that qualifies for a bumper automatic. My grandmother told me that the watch is gold plated, so probably a steel case. |

If it's a gold plated 1950s auto, value is around $200-400 in general. Best, Zaf |
