··Oooo subtitles!The quick answer is it's worth the melt value, which will be considerable since 18K gold is now trading at over $60 per gram. Mid to high 4 figures certainly, assuming it is 18K which most are. As a watch, the picture is less certain. The F300s do have a following but they are a pig to get serviced. If it is running maybe a few hundred bucks over melt. If it is not, then melt or thereabouts.

·You'd really have to be extremely passionate about solid gold F300's not to melt them all down right now.....we could be heading for another golden watches extinction event with the price of gold where it is.

··Oooo subtitles!Oh and by the way it’s not late 60s. It’ll be more likely from 1971-1975. The movement serial number will tell more.

··His Holiness Puer SurdusKinda looks like this BA 398.0008 from a 1974 catalog, though it is only date (and not day-date). Also, the OP's dial has been "diamonified".
@tbones1983@, can you provide a close-up picture of the dial?
