Borel Fils & cie appraisal

Answering questions regarding what you should expect to get for your vintage watch at auction or from a dealer. You may also ask if questions regarding the authenticity of your watch here.
Forum rules
In order to provide a reasonable appraisal, we will need at least 3 of the following:

1) A picture of your watch. This is done using the "upload" feature.
2) Model number if known.
3) The case material, Silver, Steel or Gold, etc.
4) Case diameter & overall condition.

Due to the demands placed on my mailbox, I do not answer such inquires by direct mail. You must post your question here. Direct eMails regarding appraisals will be deleted and not answered.

Please note: Almost ALL the small ladies "cocktail" watches of brands such as Bulova, Gruen, Hamilton, etc., with gold trading at record prices are trading at or near scrap.

Borel Fils & cie appraisal

Hello.
I am trying to find out more about Borel Fils pocket watch that I got from my family.

On inner cover is engraved following:
No 506144
Borel Fils & cie
Laferme 25.XI. 1939 (also signed on the cover).

Glass has a crack, it works.

Thank you for any expertise.

Kristel

If it's just a time only, regular dial pocket watch, it will not be substantially more than the gold content.
If it has complications or an intricate dial, we'd need to see a photo.
