I was given this watch as a gift. I can't find any information on it and would like to know more.
I don't know what it's made of or the model number and don't know how to get the back off.
Looks to have the original band. Seems to run well.
Thank you.

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.
Please note: Almost ALL the small ladies "cocktail" watches of brands such as Bulova, Gruen, Hamilton, etc., with gold trading at record prices are trading at or near scrap.

Can you provide a photo of the back? It would tell me what the case is made of.
These are made by Jaeger-LeCoultre and have a similar valuation.

Hopefully this is legible. I don't see anything on it besides a personal inscription - BEC July 1955 and Geneve.
Thanks for your time,

Re: 1950s Gubelin Watch
If I am interpreting the colors correctly, it's a stainless steel back. If that is the case, the top is usually made of a lower Karat gold, like 10k or 14k.
Re: 1950s Gubelin Watch
I would agree that the back look likes it's stainless.
