HAMILTON Watch Find - Simmons 18K GF Band

So, at the very least, the band should cover the $25 I paid for it. I plan to check my watch book when I get back home, but I always get the opinion of my t-net experts first anyway!

I would like to list it, but I have no idea of value or gold content. Any ideas?

Hard to say what it'll bring. The style is a 1920s era and there are a few other brands are like it. It was made with a small ladies pocket or pendant watch movement when they were falling out of fashion and wristwatches became the style... Being a Hamilton I'm hoping you could double your money. The gold case is a 25 year guarantee gold filled case. It means it's guaranteed to not wear to the base metal before 20 years. It's not a solid gold case. Good thing is, it has the signed Hamilton case, dial & movement. I'm thinking $60 to $70 would be a good price to sell it at if it's running. You don't want to be sinking anymore money in it on any repairs.
