    Can you tell me the value of a gold Colibri, white faced with second hand and the case has a monogramed initial. It was given to my husband 25+ years ago.

    I assume it is gold plated? Thanks, Kathy

Seeking Appraisal or Value Information?

The best resource for getting the value of your pocket watch is at the International Society for Appraisers (ISA). They have a "Find an Appraiser" tool (click here) where you can type in your state, or select the USA (or your country) and see a list of nearby appraisers.

The NAWCC also has a great resource for looking up serial numbers. This is particularly useful for finding out the year of your watch. Click here to check it out.
