    Hi folks,

    was wondering if anyone can provide any information on this watch for me please.

    value? rough age?

    haven't been able to take the back off yet.

    Many thanks
    Ross

    thanks for the reply Billy, it's not my watch as of yet but that bracelet must go!

    what would you expect to pay for a watch like this roughly?

    $300 US. Quite a common watch.

    Case back on these do not come off, movement comes out from the front.

    Look through eBay SOLD listings.

    I find loads of them on eBay.com...

    Remember that you asked the wrong question - "what would you expect to pay for a watch like this roughly?"

    Experienced collectors know that these are common and will wait for a perfect specimen at a low price to surface before striking, while an inexperienced person could very well jump on something mediocre at a high price because they couldn't bother with research and/or didn't have the patience to wait for something better and cheaper.

    With the right advert, you could probably get $500 for it if you could wait for the right buyer to show up.
