What do you mean not genuine and what do you think the value of this watch is, regards!

He means that is not "fully swiss made". That aside, your watch market value is not much. perhaps 10 GBP if you can find someone wanting this style. The crystal could be replaced for say 5 GBP by an honest repairer, again, if you can find one.

As said already Emperor is not a Swiss brand anymore. That‘s why „swiss mov‘t“ is written on the dial. So the value of the watch is more or less the material value of the 8ct (37,5%) gold case with gold (?) bracelet. I have no idea which percentage of the watch’s 35g is the weight of case and bracelet. 8ct Gold is about $20/g.

Are there any gold stamps on the case and/or bracelet?

Watch value little more than the actual weight of its gold content. It has a swiss quartz movement hmm probably not great 80s 90s Ronda ? If its sentimental keep it. If you need the cash then best gold scrap value you can find, a pawn proker ? Gold has been going up steadily past few years. If anyone on here Definitley knows whats happening with the gold market then please ring me i have spare cash under my floor boards that nobody knows about.

Sorry wanted to know what you would pay for this watch so I know what value I should put on it, regards!

Personally i wouldnt pay for it as its not the sort of thing i like.  And i would have to guess that inside isnt up to much. If you are selling then maybe only scrap gold value, its weight would have to calculated. So probably striped down to its bones. I would first see what is inside. Stick it on epay with a reserve price of its gold value plus epay fees, bere in mind if it doesn't  sell you are slapped with a non sale fee for the privilege of the reserve price hold .Good luck.

For a more precise appraisal I recommend jewelers forum.

Hmm you're right just a bit more precise nucejoe. I think maybe a little undervalued at 10 notes, unless the gold market has completely crashed and we are now finding nuggets on the beach. Wheres my floppy sun hat and metal detector ?

 WRT forum is not a jewelery store, we are here to learn watch repair, recently however a good 98% posts have  had no educarional value whatsoever.  We have seen @jdmback quicker than you can find your floppy hat. 

We love this forum and like to see it maintain its scholastic prestige.

Point taken 👍. Although some people  like to know what things are worth. And the guy did start his introduction thread regarding the value of his watch. Not particularly interupting anything important.  Just saying. 🙂

    • As with every skill it watchmaking, it takes practice. Notice at the top of the document it says, "Practical work - 40 hours".  I can get the balance wheels 'close enough' to flat, but never seem to get them perfect. Same with gear wheels. Guess I need more practice.
    • Has it got a beat adjustment on the platform or is it a fixed hairspring? in short what you are looking at to get it just about in beat is to get the roller jewel sitting dead centre between the banking pins. So remove the platform and take of the pallet fork and escape wheel to give you clear line of site, sit the platform with the balance in place and with it level look between the banking pins and see if the roller jewel is sitting between them, if it is nice and central its there or there abouts in beat, if its not the the position of the pinned end of the hairspring needs to be adjusted to move the roller jewel into the correct position, thats why I asked if it has an adjustment on the platform or not, if it has its an easier job. 
    • I've managed to adjust it. I'm going to try and explain it as well as I can with my limited horology knowledge but I hope it helps someone in the future. There is a cam to the right of the front plate as shown in the picture. As the clock ticks along, the pin indicated in the gear comes around and slots into one of the silencer cam gaps, turning the cam. The pin completes a full rotation in 2 hours. To adjust the cam to start at the right time set the clock to just before 7. I did 6:45. Then I turned the silencer cam anticlockwise, which spins freely, until it pushed the silencer lever up and was placed just before the drop. Just before the 7AM indicated in the picture. All I then had to do was progress the hands to 7-7:15which made the pin slot into the silencer cam gap and turn the cam so the lever comes down again, unsilencing the clock. That was it. If anyone comes across this issue again I'd be happy to assist. Thanks again to everyone that helped. Hey Transporter! Thanks a lot for the reply. That was a really good explanation and I'm sure it would have made my troubleshooting a lot less painful haha. I'm sure someone will find it useful in the future. Thank you again for taking the time to try and help me out with this.
    • Now I'm completely confused, it would appear that the epilame  is oleophobic  as @Marc states: This oleophobic  behavior can be seen as beading of the droplet (as above) which stops the oil spreading which is supported by what we observe on treated/untreated cap stones (for example), but as @VWatchie states this should make the drops more mobile and is supported by the literature:   A review on control of droplet motion based on wettability modulation principles design strategies recent progress and applications.pdf   However the hole point is that we have less mobile oil so an oleophobic  would see to be the opposite of what we want. In fact this beading and high mobility are desirable properties in things like smart phone covers, see below.  I am fairly sure that epilame doesn't make the droplets more mobile, so maybe its a strange coating with dual properties that are both oleophobic (beading) and cohesive/adhesive resulting in low mobility?? This may explain the high price??  
    • The description there is exactly how it's done, and it's very well written!
