Inherited Pocket Watches

Sadly my mother passed away about a month ago and whilst back in the UK my father passed down a number of pocket watches.

Some, I'm told were my grandfathers, including a WW2 watch. All appear to run but haven't been used for a while, classic 'in the safe' scenario. Some interesting service marks on the case, a few almost too small to read with the naked eye.

In rough picture order (sorry the upload has taken it's toll on the order:

1. Silver / Unnamed (Not opened, keyed winding)
2. Leonidas nickel plated service watch
3. J.W.Benson 1/2 Hunter
4. 1/2 Sized Blackened Case Watch

I'll endeavour to take/post better pictures if anyones interested.

Thanks for replies, the loss wasn't unexpected we'd been building up to it for 2-3 months. What was unexpected was all the family drama at/after the funeral... the old adage of funerals bring out the worst is fairly true.

The pictures aren't great but at the same time the watch condition isn't so great either, they've been ignored for 1/2 a century. I'm in a quandary over what to do with them other than just packing them away again. I could clearly clean them up a little (not with brillopads obviously ;p) but no point if they are not going on display as they would just revert over time.

Of more interest to me that the watch is the gold chain, it contains real history (odd how it doesn't look very gold in the picture). I'll post another picture solely of the chain later. It contains a goldstone (glittery gold looking thing) which was gifted to my great grandfather who worked in/around a munitions factory in kent during the war, there was an explosion and a lady was badly burned, he help rescue her including providing some quick coverage as her burned clothes had to be quickly removed. Another is a sovereign which was gifted on my wedding day from my grand mother and added to the chain. The other trinkets have stories too.. ill need to get the details.

The benson isn't my favourite, it's the small black one. Here's a pic or two; helping to show its size (couple of centimeters diameter maybe), it looks more practical and potentially more usable. I particularly like the gold markings on the dial, would love to know what make it was

Thanks for the replies, yes I gathered the smaller one was a woman's watch and also aware that it would at best have a markers make under the dial or maybe under a bridge somewhere. I'm not inclined to take it apart at present, despite playing around a little right now with watch movements (its a hobby i'm at the early stages of), I have approx. 10-12 movements in various working conditions, all omega, over half being the fz300 type ie 1250/1260 (I was trained as a electrical/electronic engineer, they further intrigue me.. the combination of electronic and mechanical).

Sorry for your loss also river, my mother had only just turned 80 when she passed away. There has been a spate of bowel cancer in her sibling group (3 of 5 so far), oddly all around the same age frame. Shockingly almost a year prior to the month she had her twin sister pass away (cancer), got some scans back indicating she had a problem and had to have their dog put down, all over a period of 2-3 days. She referred to it as her weekly hornbills and it wasn't until the last month that she had any thoughts other than thinking she would get over this. A strong woman she was.

I'll see if i can get into the back of the silver cased watch and post some more pics over the next day or two.

Here's the rear of the keyed silver watch movement, it says something like Yarmouth and Wiggs. Has an interesting cover on it, you can see the with/without:
