    Having much clearer pictures (not taken by a phone!) would help in narrowing this watch down. None of the markines and letters on the back can be read...

    Depending on condition, can probably get between 50 and 300 dollars.

    Pretty watch, someone's probably looking for it and may well be offering a reward to get it back.

    Find a local jeweler or watch repair place that has been in business for a while and take it to them. Hopefully someone in the business can give you more information. Those pictures are just way too blurry to make much out and people would be guessing, or it would have to be super unique.

    Just going off the "no wind indicator" it suggests it wasn't one of the top quality watches for the time. That's why the value isn't going to be thousands. Just because something is old, doesn't mean it's valuable. It's not like it's a Hamilton.

    Dude, give it up. The one you have isn't even as high a quality as the one I posted. It's not worth thousands, a few hundred at best even though yours looks dirty.

    OP, I think you are really getting your hopes up here, what you have is a battered old timepiece that was not considered an expensive model even then.
