My Grandfather recently gave me a gold Jules Jurgesen watch with a braided gold band. The case is very flat and it is an attractive watch in fine working order. It is of high sentimental value and I am not interested in selling it. I am interested in understanding its value in case it might need to be insured. Can anyone help me, understanding that this is very limited info I have shared. I haven't found a source on the web that is of much help. Thank you. Brian | ||

Hi. It's really difficult to appraise without pictures and the watch in front of you. What you could do is sign up for our price guide at http://www.vintagewatchpriceguide.com/ we should have something similar in there, otherwise I'd tell you anywhere between $225 and $400. Maybe more if the bracelet is actually gold and is particularly heavy. | ||

I have a solid gold 14k pocketwatch dated May 16, 1895 and was made by Black Starr & Frost. It is a beautiful watch & works well. Any one who may have some information on this watch or the value please contact me. I have had NO luck finding any Pocket watches made by Black Starr & Frost/ New York.I do have pictures of the watch & it also opens in three diff. places.. thanks for any help | ||

Genrally watches with jewellers like Black Star & Frost are made my another company with BS&F just putting their name on it. We'd need to see a picture of the movement to figure out who made it. | ||

Also if it's of any help, the word Swiss is stamped within the movements, I see the word adjusted,Black Starr & Frost N.Y. engraved.I also see the initials S F & these initials are located between some sort of dial with a red jewel in it .I see all sorts of stones within the movements of this watch. Can you or anyone out there tell me what exactly that means & why they are there ? | ||

The movement is only marked Black Starr and Frost? No other manufacturer? | ||

No..... The movement is "only" marked Black Starr & Frost...I am still unable to find anyone who can give me any information re: BS&F making watches & also a ball park range of what the watch may be worth.. Thanks again for your help.. | ||

OK, BS&F will NOT have been the maker of the watch. The movement will have been made by somebody else and BS&F put their name on it. If it was made by a high end watch manufacturer, then it will be worth a fair amount, if not it won't. | ||

None. You'll need a lot more information than that, starting with a picture. |
