You could take it to an independent watchmaker who specializes in older watches. Also, keep an eye on Ebay for similar watches and maybe get over to TimeZone.com for some info. Google the name and model and see what comes up. You would probably be surprised.
If you must sell the heirloom, don't do it until you know exactly what you have. Plenty of rare and collectible watches are sold cheaply.

Hi Jim, Welcome to the forum. Unfortunately ladies vintage wrist watches are typically not very valuable at all. Unless it has some special rarity, or is studded with gems, then it won't be worth a great deal likely. Here is a place that might be able to help you determine the value.... www.classicwatch.com/discus/index.htmlUnder the various forums there is one that deals with value. Post a photo there and maybe someone will be able to tell you what it's worth. Cheers, Al |
