    I bought these watches today at a thrift store, but I can't find them online. Can you help me?
    The small lapel watch is labeled Imperial on the watch face and on the movement it reads: Seven 7 Jewels 3142, Model 82, BxP and what looks like Euro in cursive script. There is something else written but I can't read it: Unad maybe?
    The pin reads : 1/20 GF 12k on Silver DO.

    The Gruen watch reads:
    GU2049
    098
    PC21
    Battery 377
    Japan Movt.
    925 silver

    It's case and bracelet are sterling silver.

    Thanks! I feel like I've had some good luck this week with precious metals. I'm hoping I'll be able to recoup some of my losses :)

    They have no watch value as far as watch collectors go. Minimal jewelry value.

    Imperial Watch Co. seems to be a good brand though?

    The Imperial Watch company seems to have made some reasonably good watches but it certainly is not a name that is discussed in collectors circles now. The watch is charming but regretfully being a 7 jewel it is at the low end of the quality line and there is not much interest in vintage women's watches at all. Anyone with much knowledge of watches would shy away from a 7 jewel mechanical movement.
