·Couldn’t have told it better than Dan. I was thinking what I would do in your shoes. I would concentrate on one thing. I would chose dials and bezels. They are relatively easier to research and value as compared to let’s say the case(though the case holds equal value too). They hold a lot of value of a vintage watch. I think I see a DON bezel, that alone is usd $1000 plus, for eg(I may be wrong in this, on 2nd glance it’s with a mark 2 dial). May be you can list them on eBay individually as open bids and let them find their value.
But you should have the time and the interest (may be you will develop this). If you do May be you can pick one (or two) category of item and sell on your own. And sell the rest of lot to a reseller.
Last I see some gold crowns as you mentioned. There might be other gold items too. Most other items will be stamped with hallmarks and should be easy enough to segregate. But don’t go this way as it’s a pity if they get melted. This might be the route they are headed if you deal with anyone except some one in the omega parts supply business as Dan suggested, as the gold pieces have considerable value in the gold content and easiest way to liquidate them is quite literally.
