Hi. This was my father's watch. Can anyone tell me anything about it based on this picture alone (authenticity, age, ball-park value, etc.)? The back has no identifying marks that I can tell, aside from an engraving that says "Use All Proof 200 Wrench". Also, the watch runs but does not keep time very well. The second hand will tick as long as I keep it wound (by moving it about) but the minute hand will often just stop. Do you think this watch is worth repairing, given that is has some sentimental value to me? Thanks.  | ||

Is it gold? | ||

Hi Zaf. Unfortunately I have no way of telling with certainty, but I suspect that it is, perhaps 10K. | ||

Nevermind. The guy in town says it's gold filled. | ||

It is legit, early to mid-1960s, ballpark value as a gold filled piece, around $300 as it is, more if recently serviced and ready to go. | ||
