·That watch is worth the value of the gold plus a little extra for the movement (depending on the condition of the movement, which may be pretty bad given the apparent water damage). The dial is totally trashed, and I wouldn't invest another dime until acquiring a satisfactory replacement dial.

·I would think is a ref. 2367, diam. 35.5 mm. Inside should have a 30T2SCRg (check).
The bracelet does not belong, the dial I am afraid is very damaged. The case is very polished, profile of the crown seems correct.
At any rate, value is not just that of the gold.

·Dial could always be refinished, but unfortunately 1/2 the 1 at 12:00 is missing. How do you lose 1/2 a number?
guessing on dial condition. That movement isn’t looking good, but still want to see it
you could always have the dial indexes removed and painted numbers added. Bad movement. Not much you can do about it if really bad.
need pics of the movement

·Have not opened the case I am guessing is front load and haven't found a watchmaker in my town for this kind of job
But the movement is in running condition and seems to be working smoothly

Did you notice that @mac_omega posted to your thread earlier. He literally wrote the book on these watches, so you should try to respond to his request.

these are 3 piece cases. Bezel top, center section and case back.
if you look at the back edge. You might be able to see an area about 1/4” long that’s slightly raised. That’s where you insert a case opening blade or knife edge and sort of pop the back off.
some can do it. Some not so much. Depending on the movement condition. That will determine whether is worth repairing or not or selling for parts
there are replica dials being sold. Harder to find a sweep one though. Majority small second

·It may just be a press-on case-back, which you can open with a case knife. If you show more photos from other angle, we may be able to help you.
Hen's teeth being hoarded by serious collectors. Not cheap, and there's no point investing in one until you know that the rest of your watch is correct and salvageable.

·Yes, that case-back certainly look like it can pop off. It looks like there may be an opening for a case knife on the 9 o'clock area. You want to use a sharp knife and just insert it.

·Original dials (not repainted) are super-rare and super expensive if found. J
ust be careful there are quite a number of repainted or non original around. Before spending show it here.
I confirm the case is a 2367, and the crown is original and age-correct.
The Kreisler bracelet has nothing to do with the watch.
To open , this is the place to pry with a blade.

·If it is an oversized 30T2 Chronometre, (and I think it is) it is at least somewhat rare and is worth much more than gold scrap value, even with replacement dial or a redial. Definitely worth restoring.
