Help Me Identify These Watches

Hello All,

Long story short, I inherited some watches and am trying to figure out some more information about them.

One is a Rolex Oyster & the other is an 18k with a Geneve Dial.

Any information is greatly appreciated!

Many thanks!

All of the Geneve watches I have seen are cheap. Less than $50.
The Rolex is a reference 1008 with a Zephyr bezel and crosshair dial.
Probably made in the 1950s.

I just read, your description again.
Are you saying the Geneve watch is solid 18k gold?!

If that is the case, 18k is worth around $34/gram. and I would estimate the weight between 100g to 120g.
In my opinion I don't think the watch is collectible. Just worth what the scrap gold is worth.

Yes, the watch is 18k solid. It’s on a Rolex band.

If it’s a genuine 18k Rolex band, it’ll be worth a lot more than scrap value if it’s in decent condition.
