    Hi,

    It looks like a trench watch circa WW1.

    Could be original, could be a conversation from a pocket watch.

    Some pictures around the lugs, and inside the watch would be helpful.

    It doesn’t look dissimilar to this one in A Journey Through Time:

    no, indeed it is very similar! I'm happy to have found this antique watch. More than 100 years...it's wonderful.
    but how much can it be worth?

    Not as much as you'd think and probably far less than you'd like.

    All the info about Identifying it is posted here. The condition of the dial and case speaks for itself. We haven't seen the movement or the back so that can't be evaluated.A single picture is never really enough to go on as most collectors here will tell you.
    ..Best do a little looking around.. If you're a collector you'll know where to go online and search out similar examples and see what they sold for, or how much people are currently asking for them...usually a big gap between these prices...the average value is somewhere in the middle at the lower end.

    It's hard to say I'm afraid.

    You don't see them come up for sale all that often, and the demand for them is quite niche compared to some other wristwatches.

    If you found it, then I guess you know what you paid for it... so that's probably around what it's worth.

    Thank you very much for the answers chipsotoole and tyrantlizardrex.
    I'm happy to have found this watch anyway. Paid nothing but already knowing the historical period is important to me
    Tks!
