To get some info, try researching this yourself. Try searching the Web and searching eBay for similar watches.

But understand that WELL OVER 99.5% of the watches ever made are NOT the type, quality or brand that ever were or ever will be valuable! They are made to be perfectly okay timepieces for the average Joe to wear for 3-7 years then throw away.

Generally, unless it is a fairly well known and well respected brand (at least within watch circles) *and* in excellent condition, an old quartz watch will not be very valuable. On such watches, the gold trim is, at best, usually just plated.

So unless there is something else *really* special about it, it is unlikely worth more than $75 in the mint condition you describe.
