Mint condition West End 18 Kt. Gold � Rectangular Wrist Watch bearing Case No.5275 / 7, the name, `West End� found on the movement. The dial is of sunburst design and has sub-second movement. The side of the case is ornamentally designed with filigree type of carving. This watch was originally purchased by the then Maharaja of Mysore, Jayachamarajendra Wodeyar and his insignia `JCRW� is inscribed on the back of the watch. This was bought by Late Highness may be in 1940s. Can you give me further details/history of this watch. The mails directed to the company website are bounceing back.What is your opinion about this watch?

Hi. I can't really comment on the provenance, this may add a lot of value to the watch. For the watch itself, it all depends on how long it is, if it's a 40mm and up type of thing, it gets exponentially expensive. If it's under 40mm, a "West End" watch isn't going to be all that much, maybe $400 or there abouts.

Thank you for your comments and opinion.
The length of this watch per se is 4.5 mm.
please let me have your views in the matter.

45mm is a nice size, I'd say for the watch itself, anywhere between $700 and $900. Just a guess though, since it is a lesser known brand.
