I am looking for information, and the value of the above named watch. I don't have a great camera, so macro shots are difficult. The watch appears to be in excellent condition, and it does run. I am having problems uploadeding pictures in 800x600 format. Will continue to try.

Additional Information:

Gold Case
Roman Numerals
Circular Second hand on bottom

Serial #, look at the movement from the back, in the mid to upper left, #474048
"Hamilton Watch Co.' middle right
'Lancaster PA.' outside right lower edge
'17 Jewels' at the 5 o'clock position, right side.

Inside of back screw of/off cover:

'Keystone;
'Watchcase'
'Guaranteed'
'Jboss'
'25 Years'
'5126869'

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

The value is going to depend a large degree on what the movement "grade" is. This is typically a 3 digit number stamped on the movement. Do you see such a thing? Typically a 17 jewel movement will not be that valuable.

Your case is NOT solid gold, FIY. It's gold filled.

For pocket watches, get the Cooksey Shugart guide, widely available. Not so good for wrist watches though.
