The Hamilton says on the case that it is 14k gold filled. The IWC doesn't have any markings, but i would assume it is gold plated due to fading. The Longines says 14k gold on it and i think it is solid. Thanks Ian | ||

Longines is interesting, but dial is restored, so maybe around $400-450. Hamilton is probably a $150-175 type thing. IWC, hard to say, dial restored there as well. It's going to depend on its diameter and if the case is IWC. Can you open it? Should have all the information inside. | ||

The crescent with an arrow through it is a genuine IWC case, watches in the North American market are frequently found like this. It's solid 14k gold. Value is probably in the $1200-1800 range. |
