This is now the third time you are here asking the same questions about value and selling avenues......starts to look a little like you are maybe trying to sell it here?

 

No. I would like to have feedback as to whether to sell it by auction or privately and, if anyone is knowledgeable enough, to give me a steer on sales value.
Last time I was criticised for not having enough information. So I went and paid for an assessment.
If this is a problem for you, let me know

 

Well I estimate the watch to have not much collector value as it is small, oblong, looks like it has the wrong hands and crown, so overall not in great shape, I'd say maybe €250-€400 max.

The bracelet is more interesting, is it an 18mm or 16mm lug fitting? That will make a difference in value. Also the size of wrist it will fit will also have a significant effect on value. Is the bracelet alone 58gr? If so the 18kt scrap value is your starting point, and you can add some € for 18mm lug fitting, total length, GF, etc

 

To obtain the maximum market value in the shortest amount of time, consider using an auction format with the largest possible audience. Most folks use eBay for this but there are many other options, some of which may be more local to you. Since value is determined by the buyer, use a no reserve auction to encourage bidding and provide a long viewing time for your audience, such as a 10-day listing.

Most importantly, provide plenty of well-lit, close-up, in-focus pictures of the watch and bracelet from all angles, including the watch movement and inside caseback. As mentioned above, the GF bracelet is probably the highlight so be sure to describe it well, especially all of the dimensions. Best of luck with your sale!
