It depends on a few things like how many jewels it has, if its solid gold plated or filled, how many of them were made and its condition. Now the higher number of jewels you have the better quality watch it is. obviously if it solid gold its going to be at least worth its weight in gold, and pocket watch cases are not light so it would be worth a pretty penny. You can check all these things by applying some pressure to the back of the watch and twisting it to the left to take off the back of case. Look for markings and who made the case and it will say if it is gold. Also on top of the mechanics of the watch you will find how many jewels it has the maker of the watch and the serial number.
