    It was my grandmother's. I believe that there might be white gold or platinum involved since she always went for the most expensive!

    Please post a photograph of the case's back. (I assume there are markings.)

    The marking on the front 'quartz' means it has no value as a watch

    It has value as a watch, as in it will do what any watch should. Keep time. The name Tissot means it does probably have some collector value. There would be markings on the back or the band if the metal was anything special (gold,silver,platinum).

    There are many ladies Tissot quartz watches that sold on eBay from under $10 to $450, but I didn't see any like your grandmother's (even just the watch alone). The band looks like it's a replacement since it seems too narrow. As Kronos said, the markings on the back of the watch and the band will let you know if the metal is anything special...the band alone could be more valuable than the watch.

    I know nothing about watches, but googling for this one, I find few, if any that have all 12 numbers on the watch face.

    As others have said, all the information is on the back, not the front. I don't know much about watches, but this isn't screaming anything at me.

    I only found two similar ladies Tissot watches with 12 Arabic numerals that sold recently on eBay. It looks like the center one sold for best offer between $30 and $45. The right one is new and sold for best offer between $135 and $137. However, I don't always trust the way eBay sorts sold listings, and you never know if an item was returned. Note how the bands fit the space between the brackets. tissotwatches-3.jpg

    @Paul Allard, if you could take another photo of the watch band clasp from a little farther back, the image might be clearer. Then after you upload it click "Full image". We can then zoom in on the marks and maybe identify them.

    This is as clear as I can get it. The number looks like 75? and the hallmark thing has a P in the middle. Good luck!

    Kind of a long shot, but if by any chance the number on the band reads 750, could be 18K white gold. You may want to get it tested.

    Use the macro feature on your phone or camera and just photograph the subject rather than the surface it is laid on.
