How to sell my watch???

I have no clue as to the value of a Vintage Rolex Watch I have and would like advice on where and how to sell it to get a fair price.

Maybe check websites or visit a local watch dealer?
You can check chrono or eBay to get a very rough estimate of potentially what you could expect in prices

If you post good photos, we can give you a ballpark valuation. If you have no idea how to sell a watch, your best bet is probably to see if a dealer who frequently sells vintage Rolex watches will take it on consignment.

From your other thread, you say it doesnt run. These old watches that dont work have little to no value since the repair to the movement will out cost its value. Since parts essentially dont exist any longer and may require a donor movement.
The repair costs and its small size (not current to trends) you may only see you a few hundred dollars from an ambitious collector willing to take on the project.

Based on those pictures I’d say very little value

After seeing the photos and learning that the watch doesn't work, I'd suggest a no-reserve eBay auction. It's not going to bring a lot of money, so don't overthink it.

This ∆ all above ✓
btw, I suspect $ few hundred will be achieved... perhaps $ a half century or so, if a couple of real old skool enthusiasts get into a bidding frenzy ;^}
Best wishes....

A brilliant mutton dinner and a pint. It’s a parts kind of thing.
