It looks more like a "gold shell" case rather than gold plated, seems to be in nice condition.Dates from approximately 1960, value anywhere from $300-500 depending on condition, who's selling it, etc. | ||

Gold shell is like a "shell" of the top that is fused to the steel. You can tell a watch is a gold shell if the backs of the lugs are steel. On a gold plated/gold filled watch, the entire case top will be gold in color. Gold shell has a lot more gold than filled/electro plated. |
