    Hmm, okay. Do you have any suggestions on how I could narrow down its value? The range I’ve seen is just too big.

      Narrow it down? Well the expensive ones are solid gold. Yours is tarnished. Gold doesn’t tarnish so I would guess yours is on the lower side of the scale

        I assume that’s the base metal showing through, as it’s only gold electroplated, which wears off super easily.

            So low due to condition? To clarify, it does run, although I’ve not confirmed how well it keeps time.

              Sorry, I did you dirty by pulling that number out of my ass. I haven’t found anything to really go on, all the listings I see for similar watches are for the solid gold ones, or quartz ones. I see a few listings for just the movement on eBay for anywhere from $60 to $120, so I could possibly see the full watch going for a couple hundred to the right person. $200 may be pushing it given the condition and unknown status of the movement in terms of servicing.

                Gotchya. I guess when I list it, I’ll do it as a bid and set the minimum to something like $100.

                Thanks.
