Title: Engraved Pocket watch and womans wrist watch
Post by: sreyomac on September 30, 2012, 05:15:47 PM
I don't really know much about these.... the pocket watch has the initials DTW, we cant place anyone with those initials. The watch is a Gruen, and 14k and appears to some small diamond chips. They were found in the chest with some other things that my mom has.

I thought the pocket watch was Gruen. The watches by Gruen can be pricey. I have them up on ebay. Let find yours. Is there any name on the pocket watch?

The slide chain on that Waltham might be worth as much as the watch. What is the length of the chain?

That is what I was pondering as well Rauville.  Beat me to it!!!

As for the woman's watch.  Style indicative of many made in early/mid 90's and reprod in the late 90's.
