The term "gold filled" is a misnomer. Gold filled pocket watches for instance, are really gold plated brass. If the watch is very old it stands to reason, most of the gold
plating is wearing thin. As more time passes the metal that was plated with gold will
start to show through.
Now we come to the guts. The guts in a watch is as variable as the guts in a car for instance. Which has better mechanism, a Cadillac or a broken down pickup truck.
Combine the quality of the mechanism of a watch (like Swiss movement) add the value of the case (14kt solid gold) and you have the total value of the watch.
Gold test kits can be purchased on line. So you can check the gold content yourself.
As far as the mechanism goes, have a pro guide you.
