It is from the 1970's I think and I believe it was a promotion watch for Champion Spark Plugs. Nearly mint. 17 Jewels, self winding. Says Waterproof - Selfwinding - Dustproof, series 9345 on the back. Work well! Day is to the left of the date but glare made it almost invisable in the photograph. Anyone know who made it/history and a ballpark value. Thank you!

I don't believe it will be worth a lot, maybe something like $150.

Thank you for the information!! I suppose the $40 I had on it on craigslist was too low? Also have another identical unit mint, new in box.

Any ideas where to target an interested party? I'll include another picture that may be of value in the future.

Thanks again!

That's the trick, you have to find an interested party that has an automotive thing going...maybe try $100 on craigslist and see.
