Help me identify watch and its value

[zaoka]

Can any watch repairman or collector help me to identify this watch and how much its worth?

 

It needs repair, appears to be 9ct gold

The 375 hallmark is for 9ct

In my opinion it's worth what someone is willing to pay for it! Looks like an Omega or similar Swiss mfg, but they marked their movements, very unique regulator on balance cock, that should help ID, someone else may know more. Very unique case, definitely worth repairing, Thanks for posting!

The watch is a English Dennison cased watch, with Swiss fairly high grade movement that looks very much like a Revue Thommen, Vertex calibre. The case can be dated via the hallmarks in this case the watch was hallmarked in Chester, so you need to look up Chester hallmarks because each assay office used there own date letter codes.

Whats it worth, at the very least its gold content (empty case less movement and case springs) I would guess around 25 to 30 grams (£260 to £320 at current prices for 9ct ) on a watch that is roughly 50 mm in diameter, as a complete working watch probably around £50 to £100 above its scrap value as a realistic value.

Unfortunately the case is probably worth more than the watch. Hence thats why you will find lots of pocket watch movements on eBay without their cases. It,s a real shame but thats how the market is.

The watch is called a half hunter. The dial looks to be in a nice condition, pity the numbers have worn off, but that can be fixed. Value will depend on the weight of the gold. Another name to look out for is Benson. The regulator is very much like what is called a  goose neck, If you follow the path of who produced such movements that might lead you to the make of movement.
