··Melbourne AustraliaYou'd be better off selling the bracelet for scrap and putting the watch on eBay.
You won't recover the cost of a repair/service so just let the new owner decide on how much to spend on it.
Have a read here, it will help with the identification.

And we need decent pics and also need to know a bit more about the watch, what country etc etc.

·Etiquette pls. ! You joined today. No introduction. No background. Just how much money ? For this kind of question, go to your local auction house/ resident jeweller. This is a vintage collectors site. Not a quick evaluation service for free. No interest in the watch itself. Just : how much ? No effort from your side. Trying to find the same on eBay or something.... And Btw: the hand is inside. Not broken. Loose. Start over again.

·L LauralouSorry didn’t realise I needed to introduce myself! I’ve looked endlessly on lots of sites and can’t find anything the same so just wanted to ask some experts if it is worth repairing. I am obviously not a watch collector or expert I was left it when my mum recently passed away so wanted to make sure I get it right.
It would have been a fine watch in its day. She had good taste.
Introductions aren’t necessary, but the forum gets its fair share of ‘hit & run’ style first posts, by where people just want to know the value of something and are never seen again, which can, understandably, ruffle a few feathers.
@JimInOz ’s advice is the best course of action for you, in this instance
Regards

·If you do decide to sell, and if you do decide to scrap the bracelet for gold value, then be sure to take the time to find a gold buyer who pays a fair rate. You should easily be able to get more than 95% of spot value. Don’t get caught out by high-street gold buyers who often pay 75% or less. If you’re in the UK a good reference point would be https://lois-bullion.com/

·L LauralouThank you, Yes of course totally understandable. Thanks for your help I would love to know what it is I have no idea if it’s even a mans or a women’s watch and was worried to take it anywhere as I have no clue about things like this or if it’s even real. It kind of looks like a 1950’s one but can’t find one the same!
Take it to a watchmaker (not a jeweller) and have them open the caseback for you, and take some clear, close up photos of the inner side of the caseback, and the movement.
Come back here, post the photos, and someone will be able to tell you exactly what you have.
Cheers

·All the identifying serial numbers will be stamped on the inside of the caseback, and on the movement.
