·This watch was my grandmothers and she kept it at a bank safe.
Any information on year and model?

··Oooo subtitles!Likely solid gold, 18k perhaps, so now has considerable intrinsic value. Women’s cocktail watches don’t hold a huge premium over this though due to changing taste and collector preferences. There are those who would pay more but it’s a much smaller market than for the men’s stuff.
That one seems nicer than most. At a guess circa 1960s-70s. If you get the back removed you’ll find the movement type, case number and serial which will help to identify and date it.

··Oooo subtitles!It will almost certainly need a service if you intend to keep it and use it. If you are considering selling it though don't bother as you wont recoup that outlay at resale, and the outlay wont be trivial. Depending on who does the work, it could be anywhere from $500-$1,000 (£375 - £750). As I noted above, the sale price achieved will depend greatly on the bullion value and spending big to make it run right wont affect this.
