Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could help me. I have an (old?) Swiss watch, which is of some sentimental value to me and I�d like to know a little bit more about it � when it was first made, if it has any value, etc. I can�t seem to find any information on the web about it. It�s a Baume watch (NOT Baume and Mercier), which seems odd, because from what I can ascertain Baume and Mercier first went into business together in the late 19th century. However, this watch looks like it was made in the 1960s?

I�ve attached a pic � quality isn�t great. Here�s what�s written on the front, however:

BAUME
17 Jewels
Inacbloc

Stamped on the back is the following:

Made in Switzerland
Incabloc
23436
23673
52870406

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Seems to be a late 1960sd piece. Value if probably not too far off the gold value in today's market. Is it gold?
