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.

It looks authentic to me. I remember seeing things of this sort in the 1990s/early 2000. They were sort of a less expensive line, given that they were gold filled/gold plated. I don't think it will ever be collectible, so right now, given the wear that I'm seeing on some of the plating, best not to spend a lot of money on it, if this is something you are considering buying.

It's a common workhorse movement. It's found in a lot of watches. It's probably worth $200-250 just by itself.
