Just Purchased this Pocket Watch. Thinking of Servicing it, is it Worth It $

[jdrichard]

I just picked this up and wondering what it is worth to determine if I spend the time servicing it?

I would.

It,s nice to see a good quality pocket watch that has not been robbed of its case just for it,s metal scrap value.

Can you give us the long serial No. on the back of the movement.

I can't make it out from the photo.

You my  need to clean it off a bit but don't spoil the finish.

It's a rolled gold case CB, that's probably why it's still a complete watch.

Be careful when polishing the case JD, it would be too easy to expose the base metal.  It will be a tricky one to work on due to the lack of individual bridges.  You are good at putting videos together, so hopefully you'll manage to do one.

Would this watch be valued above 200 bucks? And, I will definitely video the experience.

Stand by for the serial number.

Here are the shots

That's the number on the case which only applies to the case. The number required is on the movement itself.

I can't see it in the photo but it's always there somewhere.

Usually about seven numbers long.
