·Thank you for your reply - if the watch still had its face, it would be worth several 1000's dollars! It is from the 1960's and not hideous at all. However, I am now going to sell it for it's gold value.

Not really, it just isn't a collectible piece, either mechanically or aesthetically. Even if it was working it wouldn't be worth much more than its scrap value.

·In the forum members deliver hard truths and I feel like you're likely offended right now, but the hard truth is a lot more popular models are right now selling below scrap value, so there's almost 0 chance for you to sell it
Your 2 options seems to me:
1) Scrap it
2) Measure proper dimensions and start a hunt for a steel casebacked watch that will fit inside - it could take a year even if you look everywhere online, so a pretty challenging quest

··Oooo subtitles!Please do post a pic of the original watch, I wasn't trying to offend with my earlier post, merely tell it like it is. In my defence, I didn't say the original watch was hideous (after all I haven't seen it), I used that word as an adjective to suggest how unfashionable a tv dial integrated watch is at present, they are not in vogue right now.
The fact remains your posts look rather like veiled sales posts so that partly explains why I wasn't as touchy feely welcoming as I can be on a good day, we don't tolerate sales from noobs 😀
