    Hi All

    I inherited this watch from my late grandfather who died 14 years ago.
    I dont know much about it but have some pictures for you to have a look at.
    Its fairly worn and had an aftermarket strap which was very worn so I removed it
    It is in working order and keeps reasonable time.

    I was wondering if its collectable and an approx guide price if I were to sell it.

    Many thanks...

    No gold on the bottom side to wear off. Take a close look at the bottom of the lugs. Gold cap is typically a thick, long lasting solution to a gold filled watch that will wear through on the edges. If you can't afford a solid gold watch, this is the 2nd best option.....in my opinion

    Many thanks all.
    Does anyone have an idea of what it's worth on the market, am I best selling privately or on eBay...?

    Cheers...

    Imho, it might reach US$300 on a straight auction on eBay, bit of a guess but it is highly unlikely to go over $500 and it may not even get to $200
