Lord Elgin and Balco watches
Hi all,
Just trying to see if there is any collectability in these 2 watches, and maybe a ballpark on the worth of them, and a rough age of them.
first one is a Lord Elgin 23j, in a 10k case, second one a Balco 15 jewel, with radium hands.
Thanks,
Bill

This is the Lord Elgin Westwood from 1961, originally sold for $100.

Elgin collectors would be interested in it but not sure on others.

Michael,
Thanks for the information on the LE, it is precisely what I was looking for.

Bill,

I have several similar to the Balco. I enjoy them. They are pretty common under dozens of different badged names.

With a distressed crystal and pitted case... I'd be in around $40 in running condition.
