·[Edit: At first I thought it was gold-capped, but then I looked more closely.] The gold plating is damaged and the case-back is badly polished. The dial is also poor. It's in rough condition overall. You should probably just use your own judgement on pricing it.

·Gold filled is fixed to the case by heat and pressure. Over time wearing causes wear through the gold fill and stress will then cause certain areas to split.
When I bought watches like that. It was for the dial and movement. Cases toss. If the back was good. I kept them
