How can you tell if your Toy Watch is real or fake?
Take it to a nearby watchmaker or repairman for professional authentfication, especially if he is NAWCC accredited. A slightly less reliable test is to look at the movement, as people who make fake watches do not bother to put IWC markings on it. Comparing it to photos is unreliable, as the quality of the pictures isn't good enough for comparison.
How do you know if a emporio moda italia watch is fake or real?
You can check to see if an Emporio Modata Italia watch is fake or real by inspecting the movement of the watch. A real watch will have a quality movement and a fake watch will have cheap parts. It is definitely worth the effort to have an expert check the watch as well.

What is a gold watch case with Essex Columbia?
The book History of the American Watch Case, Warren H. Niebling, Whitmore Publishing, Philadelphia, PA, 1971 (available on loan by mail to members from the NAWCC Library & Research Center), has a small amount to say about the Essex Watch Case Co. It began in 1884, making a grade of gold-filled cases named "Columbia." After several years, Thomas B. Hagstoz, who at one time was in a partnership that held the J. Boss patent for gold-filled case manufacture, was named president of Essex. Under his leadership, Essex expanded its line to include 14K and 18K solid gold cases as well as silver cases. "By 1894 they were turning out 300 cases a day." The Essex Watch Case Co. appears to have been taken over by the Courvoisier-Wilcox Mfg Co. some time between 1892, when the Columbia grade was still being sold by the Essex Watch Case Co., and 1895, at which time surviving ads show the change. Perhaps this occurred during the Panic of 1893. This firm continued the Essex line of solid gold cases; gold-filled cases, such as the Superior (and probably others); and silver cases as well. As pictures (posted by richiec) show, the Superior case was marked 14K - Guraanteed 25 Years while the case paper clearly shows that it is a gold-filled case. Columbia was a mid to high grade gold filled case guaranteed to last 15 to 20 years before wearing down to its copper center
What is the worth of a gruen curvex waTCH?
For such a simple question there's a long and complex answer that asks more questions than provides answers.You can research this answer yourself using the largest watch sales site I'm aware of, which is of course eBay.Gruens are not your high-end watches. It's part of the draw for many collectors. You can get a beautiful watch for a reasonable price. I'll go out on a limb and set expectations that unless you have something solid platinum or have history behind your watch to make it a significant piece, then you are not going to get rich from your watch.In my opinion, these are "Factors" that go help determine the "value" of a Gruen watch. But before you begin to research these factors below, take a quick look at eBay's sold Gruen listings. This will set the expectations somewhat. Don't get too excited at this point, but you will at least see we're talking in the $100's, not $1,000'sIf your watch is modern, and has a quartz movement, then it's not worth much. Tens of dollars.The case is the next determining factor.The condition of the case probably has the largest influence on the price.Solid gold cases fetch the highest prices.Next down is 14K gold filled and 10K gold filled.Gold filled cases often have wear at the tips of the lugs, if this watch does, the more wear, the lower the price. The price jump from no wear to some wear can be bigThe rarityThis is where you get to determine the value based on the market. If you really want to find the value, you'll have to work at it a bit.The best way I know of to look at current market values is to look on eBay at the completed listings. This is the market value at the moment in my opinion. Scour ebay for your watch.Gather information by researchingThere is a relatively easy way to find the age of the watch using the Gruen Style Number Dating Technique. Type that phrase into Google and you'll find a Gruen site with the information / paper posted there. The only requirement is that you can remove the movement from the case.Knowing the model name and thus the age and other stats about your watch is very helpful. Buyers like knowing what they are buyingThe age is a determining factor as well, of course. You will know the age when you find the model nameOnce you have gathered this info, post it here and on Gruen specific forums, the NAWCC forum, or a host of other large watch oriented sites with a forum. This is the kind of data, along with several pictures, that is required to answer your question.Hopefully by looking for answers to the above questions will lead you to identifying your watch and finding the value of it.
