10ct gold plated base metal

Aaron Dennison (1812-1895) set up a watchmaking company pre 1840 at Waltham, Mass. becoming the American Watch Co. which was the predecessor of the Waltham Watch Co. although watches continued to be signed by both concerns along with names of the other companies under this umbrella. Watches for the British market were exported and then cased in England by the Dennison Watch Case Co. which had been set up in Birmingham. The case is made from a base metal then normally 10k gold plate.

According to the serial number database, 123166 corresponds to Waltham watch: Model 1859, grade "Wm. Ellery," size 18. That would be similar to the 1857 Waltham watch presented to Abraham Lincoln upon completing the Gettysburg Address in 1863.Research indicates the watch was actually manufactured by the newly formed American Watch Co. after Waltham Improvement Co. merged with Appleton, Tracey & Co. (January 1859).Nelson P. Stratton designed the model 1859 under the direction of Aaron Dennison, as a continuation of the "thin" design created by Dennison, Howard & Davis of the Boston Watch Co.

gold = gold gold coloured = goldfarben
That depends on several factors. 14k gold means that the gold content is .583% pure gold with other alloys added to make the metal harder, usually copper. However, only a portion of the weight of a pocket watch is the case. The movement, metal reinforcements, hands, crystal, winding stem, hinges, etc. are almost always other metals. And every watch is different when it comes to how dense or heavy the case is. Some general percentage weights for antique pocket watch cases are as follows; * 14k gold Hunter cases are between 38% to 50% with 40% being average * 14k Open faced cases are between 30% to 45% with 35% being average * Silver Hunter cases average around 70% of the total watch weight * Silver Open Faced cases average around 65% of the total watch weight So a 14k gold hunters watch (not gold filled or rolled) that weighs 100 grams would have approximately 40 grams of 14k gold, or 23.3 grams (.583 X 40) of pure gold. Hope this helps
A gold watch is made of gold ,on the other hand golden watch is gold in color.
if it is real it should back up to about 3.5 times the original price or up depending on the damages. any watches by rolex dating back to the early 1900's went up sky high
Either iron pyrites, FeS; or gold-coloured mica.
