Question
i have a pocket watch that says grand central 24 jewels on the front. under the back cover it says warranted 25 years,  c.w.c.co 3831716, it also has 3367704. where could i find information and value of this watch. thank you.

Answer
Mel,

Look at the back of the watch movement.  That will indicate who made the watch.  If you can take the name and serial number, we can determine the age.

25 years means that the case is gold filled and guaranteed not to wear through to the base metal for 25 years.

Kind regards,

Melvin
