Hi there, sorry for the delay. It took a while to get to the point where I can research it. First of all, it is an interesting piece due to the engravings and it has a very high grade movement. Pocket watches are not my strong suit, and as best I can tell the value of something like this is in the $1000 range. If you'd like to tell it, I can run it by some of my customers and see if they'd like to make an offer on it.

Best,

Zaf
