14 kt Lady Elgin Help

[Indian Steve]

Here is a 14 kt Lady Elgin watch that I pulled out of the pile Scratched into the back of the cover is CIW 2604-5 , H3402M with an arrow pointing up, W 3995W7838 and the serial # is 3604356. This was a $1 yard sale find years ago. I wound it and it is still keeping time after one hour. Crystal is very scratched and the band is a speidel pat # 2689540. I/m pulling out some old watches & jewelry to put on Ebay and am wanting to give as accurate as possible description. Any information would be greatly appreciated. I'm not a watch person but am constantly amazed by the knowledge of the "watch guys" on this site. Thanks!

Scrap.

No offense.

I agree with AARC. I would list it as a 14kt gold Lady Elgin with 655 movement. Then include the scrap weight of the case. I suspect it’s no more than 2 g maximum and should sell for between $45- $60?

I found one at a thrift store just like it. The case, back, and the wind knob are all the gold parts. Think it was around $50 in scrap.......

21 jewel movement and Rose gold. Someone will buy it for the scrap rose It was top of the line in its day but very soft market for small watches like this today
