I'm think these watches are at least 50 years old to fit the time frame.

Not an expert, but the men's watch looks like a cal. 353 or 355 from the 1950s, these sell from $750 or so up to $2,000 depending on condition. Maybe a ref. 2627 or 2757.

The ladies watch is what is referred to as a cocktail watch, and there is almost no market for these and many watchmakers don't service them since parts are scarce. Plus service costs are much higher than the value of the watch.

Thanks so much. It was more of a curiosity question as they would never be sold due to my grandfather and grandmother purchasing them in the 50-60 when they were in the military. My later grandmothers "cocktail" was was restored probably 10 years ago at a pretty penny and we knew that we would never see the money back but she loved it. Wore it every Sunday to church. TY for answering my questions.
