I believe these are gold filled , the one you have is probably turn of the century 1890-1910. if the movement is running and keeping time it should be worth around 150-200. The ones you want are the old bunn specials from around the same period, they have a large collectors base and run into the thousands. Still a pretty watch not a bad find. Wind it up and put it on display, check its accuracy with a digital clock.
