I no the underneath isn’t . But it says r.gt . The lady said it’s solid 9ct it’s just hard without having it tangible
    And how much do you guesstimate it s worth?

    I bet the band is aftermarket, ie made in England
    where as the watch is SLAVA (wiki) says Bulgaria and could be real 375.

    That tiny amount of green is like a copper oxidation near the strap to watch area . Id say if you want it for the sake of a watch then enjoy the watch .
    the great thing about PM's is the consistent price paid based of factors - Weight - Once you know weight you can make an intelligent decision
    a gold buying dealer will only pay you based on weight .

    How heavy is 9ct the back and crown, multiply by Karrat by spot than offer 80%

    Unless you can refine it (still cost time + chemicals) or know a friend who can do it cheap, who is going to buy it from you at spot?

    I’m thinking the green is because of the stainless steel behind it . But I don’t wanna just rip it apart for scrap I’m sure it’d sell for more intacked

    9 carat gold = 37.5% gold, 42.5% silver and 20%copper.
    considering the beauty of each of those metals it must be a nice watch to be hold
    I can see that nice silver quality that tone's down the gold sharpness
