    Hi guys,

    Would be grateful for any info and value of my watch that I inherited from my grandfather. I know he was civilian worker for the MOD at Donibristle air base in Fife, Scotland during and after WW2. Donibristle was part of the Royal fleet air arm.
    I have had two offers but did not know if they were reputable or not.
    The watch keeps perfect time and was serviced by my father a few times by a local watchmaker. I have a few photos.


    Thanks

    I have no idea how desparate you are for funds but it seems sad to me to sell a watch owned by a grandfather. Perfectly acceptable if you cannot afford new shoes for the kids but if the funds were to go towards the pub or an iphone then surely you would be better off leaving it in a drawer until your child may appreciate it?

    Dial doesn't look original to me. It should be like this :

    Maybe that's why it's the only photo that's out of focus.
