·Here is a somewhat similar watch on eBay that is asking $2999 for it.

·D dx6iCHRONOGRAPHE SUISSE 18K ROSE GOLD MEN SWISS WATCH anti magnetic ancre 17 rubis
I inherited it and want to sell it. It sat in a closet for the last 40 plus years and still works.
Any estimates or comments are much appreciated!
I wonder what is inside it, a Landeron x48 perhaps? Chronograph Suisse were not among the top rated makes, and their gold cases have a reputation for being rather flimsy. Never touched one myself so treat this as hearsay.
The general advice is to sell "as is", don't try to get it serviced or, even worse, "restored". I'd rate it as a good looking watch for the 1950/60s and someone will want it. Do not expect to retire or pay your kids' college fees on what you make from it. You could buy a very decent dinner for two quite possibly.

Note the concentration of the condition of the band. A $15 strip of leather that if you're a sweaty git like me you have to replace every 5 years anyway. On a 50+ year old watch.
Pass!

··This Space for RentThe OP's watch looks a lot smaller than the one in the eBay ad, and it has oil stains in the subregisters. I would be surprised if it were worth anything close to what the seller is asking in that eBay ad.
@dx6i, what is the diameter of the case?

·These are typically entry-level chronographs (supposedly made for the tourist trade) with Landeron 48/148 movements in thin gold cases with hollow lugs. Even in good condition, they typically sell for somewhat less than $1,000 USD, regardless of the asking price of that watch on eBay. They are quite common, so it should be straightforward to find recent sales prices (not asking prices) using the advanced search on eBay.

Agreed. I am not sure where @MRC eats his dinners, but I could take my wife to dinner many times with the proceeds from this watch. Perhaps I have simple tastes.

·Show some photos of the movement and we can identify it. If you look closely under the balance with a magnifier, you may see some numbers, e.g. "48", "148".

·IIRC, a Landeron 48/148 chronograph should start with the 2 o'clock button, then stop and reset with successive pushes of the 4 o'clock button. So push the button at 4 again and it should reset.
Probably 1950s, but hard to be sure, especially without seeing the movement.

Most expensive dinner I ever paid for cost me USD120 for two in 1982. In a Nouvelle Cuisine place on Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge MA. The sort of restaurant where you go to bed still hungry. And still alone -- although that might not have been the restaurant's fault 🙁
So, I reckoned a dinner of the same sort would be twice that now. And probably same lack of result.
