<p>[QUOTE=&quot;afantiques, post: 1206927, member: 25&quot;]You&#039;d need to pop the movement out (unless you can establish the weight of that exact movement some other way) to get the gold weight. The gold value will determine the price. Cost of repair depends on what is wrong with it, but I think all collectors would prefer to sort out any repairs themselves, if they can&#039;t fix it personally they usually know a trusted craftsman whose prices are acceptable. Establishing just what the problem is would be useful, though.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is a decent but not remarkable movement so desirability would probably not be enough to justify tying up $600 to $800 in gold.</p><p><br /></p><p>Fully working and in good condition, there is a modest demand from those few folk who still wear a suit and waistcoat to formal occasions, and want a bit of bling, but finding them can be tricky. In a gold filled case in good condition it would probably fetch $100, but getting that amount over the gold value might not be worth the time and trouble. People who are willing and able to pay for gold cased watches usually know they have the seller over a barrel so will not be very generous about the price.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s a shame, but that&#039;s the way it is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
