<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CCM, post: 695078, member: 20682&quot;]You&#039;ve gotta be kidding! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; No gold watch case (and chain?), I am aware of, weighs (weigh) over 12 troy ounces which would make melting it (them) more worthwhile than selling it intact as a cased watch.&nbsp; In any event, if you ever do have a watch case (and chain) you wish to melt, do remove the face, hands, movement, etc. before sending it off to the refinery.&nbsp; In that way you will maximize your take since many movements fetch a good price even uncased.&nbsp; I should add that if this is a pocket watch, it would not generally be sold with any attached chain since chains were usually add-ons, i.e. chains were purchased separately.&nbsp; In rare cases, where a chain and watch were made and sold as a set, selling the set in its entirety generally fetches a much better price than selling watch and chain separately.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
