    The Rolex looks correct. The code "4/72" on the bracelet means it was made in the 4th quarter of 1972. This is a Ref. (model number) 6694, manual wind piece and is one of the more common Rolexes in the marketplace. You should be able to look it up on eBay or other websites to get an idea of value.

    The Breitling is also quite interesting and has some value as well. Even more if it is solid gold. Other than that, I'm cludeless.

    The BWC looks like it is WWII vintage and could have been German military issue. There is a market for that as well. I would suggest posting it on MWR. They will know more about it over there:

    I can't tell you anything about the JWBenson watch, other than it was a private label of the store with the same name. Could have been made by any one of a dozen Swiss or British watch companies.

    Hope this helps,

    There was somebody selling that UG model for most of 2013 on Ebay - with just a very poor stock photo from an old catalogue. My request for extra photos was met with "No thanks!" so I told him to stick it up his helium release valve. My memory may be faulty but I think he was asking either $600 or €600 - obviously it not selling may be more to do with his attitude and the same watch with a different seller might have flown out at that price.

    I quite like the watch, particularly the arabic numerals, but it doesn't tick the boxes of the typical vintage UG collector on here, I suspect. This is not a criticism.

    The watch from 2013 was being sold by a seller called darcif72 and the Item ID was 310754245663. I can't find any mention of it with google but I'm not very good at trawling web archives - others may be better.
