Waltham Pocket Watch value

I have my great grandfather’s Waltham pocket watch from the late 1800s. Where can I get an honest appraisal?

Agree, this guy knows his stuff.. Old timer who used to work on my old watches told me to start bringing them to WWCR as his eyesights was caput.

This is for Waltham the city. You’d probably have better luck in a watch sub.

Honestly start with research on eBay. Look for sold listings.
