Hello
@Pathfinder919
From your other thread, I'm hoping that you're going to keep this watch as a memento of your grandfather - but each to their own if you are not.
As a valuation critique:
I happen to like the 168.010s but these round case Connies are less sought after (and therefore less valuable) than the earlier dogleg or curved lug references.
The good
Its a stainless steel pie-pan Connie
The BOR bracelet with the (relatively uncommon) 19mm end links is a nice bonus so adds a bit of value.
The not-so-good
The significant bubbling on the dial, whilst common on pie-pans of this reference, does hurt the value.
The case has seen some polishing (or more likely wear by your grandfather) as the medallion, bezel and lugs are less sharp than they could be.
The crown is a replacement as it should have a recessed (hidden) crown - no biggy if you are going to keep it but again it affects the value.
The bracelet has some stretch - again not uncommon but it needs to be taken into account
so value:
Head only, due to the condition of the case and the dial, approx £500-£750
And perhaps add a couple of hundred for the bracelet
You may get more from an open sale on eBay and less from a sale in an auction house
If you are not selling, you should (at least) double the estimate for insurance purposes
Hope that helps
