    We don't do valuations.

    Your watch is difficult to see, close up pictures are required, details of the watch like makers name, metal, movement etc.

    It is worth the scrap value of the case

    For what it is worth, I endorse the last post.

    Probably 3 or 4 grams if 18 carat gold

    Quite a bit more if the strap is also gold.

    Its an 18 carat case.
    Take the movement out and the glass crystal and weigh it on a gram scale and you will have your value.
    Today's price in the UK is £27.44 for 1 gram of 18k

    I have a lot of older 14k watches. Condition is key- you would spend a lot to restore the face of it, and it is not a famous brand name. I agree with scrapping the case, but I would keep the crystal and the inside workings. You may be able to sell/trade with a watchmaker. Also give them the costume bracelet instead of throwing it away. They reuse pieces.

    You have to go into your photo files and resize. I do this under edit/organize.

    Does it run? Keep time? Are there any marks on the clasp of the bracelet? Even if costume quality, bracelet is handsome & unusual. I'd probably wear it if it worked well.

    Seconded. If it works, keep it. If not, ladies' watches are worth their weight in scrap metal alas.
