try looking for similar items on eBay, check with a local antique dealer or two, and also, just use a simple search tool, like google.com and perhaps it can tell you how much similar watches are selling for. Generally, by the way, watches that are not dripping in diamonds aren't selling for massive amounts, unless there is truly something special about it, like it was owned by a famous person or it was the first or last of a rare and exceptionally made model.
