I'm assuming it is solid as there are no areas on the back that show wear, and expose another metal. There are no scratches on the case. I have not had anyone knowledgeable look at this watch. | ||

The value of these types of watches is a little tricky. It will depend on how heavy the gold is. If it's one of the "paper thin" types, value is about $450. if it's a heavy gold case, the watch can be worth $800-900. Assuming the watch is running and good overall condition. | ||

As an aside, do you have any interest in this type of watch - marketing/consignment or outright purchase? If so, contact me at my profile e-mail address. Regards. |
