Clocks, Watches/Philip Watch

Question
Hi,

My godmother gave me a Philip Watch 6 years during my confirmation,and
since I have noticed that I am not good at using it because I
don't like the style I would like to give it away.But I don't
know how much it could worth.
I will try to give you all the information I can about it but I can
also send you a picture of it.
I know that it is made by gold and crocodile materials and it is a very
fine piece kept into a blue box.Unfortunately I am not an expertise in
these things and maybe I am not good enough to give you more details
that's why I think a picture could help you.

Thank you in advance
Alessandra from Italy  

Answer
Alessandra,

If I may ask, where in Italy do you live?  

Please e-mail a picture of the watch to me.  Send it to millswatchrepair@gmail.com.  

Write me exactly what is written on the dial of the watch.

I will do my best to give you an estimate.  

You may be able to receive a more accurate estimate if you take the watch to a local watchmaker or jeweler.  He will determine the condition and exact model so the estimate may be more accurate.

Kind regards,

Melvin
