Try a local auction house. It's only worth what someone is prepared to pay for it - but you should get scrap value if nothing else. And you can put a reserve on to protect it, to make sure it doesn't sell for less than scrap value.

Auction house will have a big fee in place, they won't allow you to use a stupidly high reserve because they want things to sell in auctions.

Surely the subject header would be "How to sell a gold watch with maximum profit" or "successfully".

Well that covers (1) in my orirginal post, but not (2). I think the broader thread title is fine, thank you.

You'll get an idea of what's it worth. I put your brand in there and they have 200+ of those watches. At least you'll know what the price is vs the price of the gold. Also the thing that might be worth is the actual bracelet of gold in terms of scrap value. The face itself might not contain enough gold to make it worthwhile and you are better off keeping it as a souvenir.
