I've had this in my stuff since the 70s but just noticed it might have some value. Can anyone tell me what it might be worth? It's not in the best of condition, no band, but it does have diamonds.

Ladies WristwatchesRumor has it that the first wristwatches came to being in the 19th century …
Susan, Most of these womans watches are best kept for sentimental value , as they have little to no value in the publics eye, "In My opinion". The faces are & were too small then as well as now.... The movements are Very Well made, but most were Overwound & the mainsprings were broken , & arent worth fixing. Your watch is 14K & thats good & it has some stones thats good.... But if you want an appraisal value , You can go to a book store & look through Cooksey Shugert & get a more accurate idea. My guess is that its book value will be $100 or less
Cooksey ShugArt with an a, I just googled it. Thanks PSiloveyou
