Hello and welcome to the forum.

Nice piece you got there. Not sure what additional information you're looking for.

If not mistaken, Baume used to import Longines watches in Britain and it's territories until the 60s. So, it might be one of those. I'm sure more expert minds here could provide you with more information.

As for its value, your last picture indicates 5000 kr.

You could look on eBay for similar sold items to get an idea of its value

Hello and Thank you,
I have found several very similar watches with identical size, movement and dial but not a single one in 18k gold like mine it seems they are all in 9ct from what i can find with the gold lock from baume, i have looked at chrono eBay etsy and several other sites but not found anything with the same config as mine so kinda of lost here regarding how to value it correct.

Put it on eBay with a $.99 start and no reserve and find out the value as of right now.

Good luck

So... price listed was approximately 630 EUR, and you made an offer and the seller accepted it.

I would say around the ballpark. maybe 10 benjamins on a good day..

It's hard to answer your question about value. At first glance, that seems like a fair price for an 18k Longines. However, the movement photo seems to show a heavy brass movement holder, so the gold case may be quite thin and light. Also, it's hard to judge condition from the photos, but as a collectible watch, it appears to have some condition issues to the case and dial.

I would say that the value of the gold alone should be around 500 euros
