I have a Thomas Russell ladies pocket watch. This is working. The serial number is 76572 and the two backs have a symbol of stamp with K18 inside a shape of a bell and dots running up the sides of the bell shape. It is open face with a stem winder and spring button to adjust the time. It belonged to a relative, now deceased. I have no idea how old it is or if it is of any value.Any advice/help etc appreciated.

Sorry. I have a few watches from a deceased member of family, which are of no interest to the family, except for a ladies pocket watch. I know nothing about watches, 0their date of manufacture or value, so I joined this forum.

That is fine. However this is a repairers forums, and collectors forums often can offer more collective knowledge. In all cases, as mentioned you need to post pictures front and back to enable others to say. Another way to get an idea of the value of branded watches is to look and compare on chrono24.com.

    • That’s a nice idea, But i’m committed to providing this site as a gift to the watch repair community as my thank you for my incredible life i’ve had in this business. Ive done well and unless my financial circumstances change then i’m more than happy to foot the bill. If circumstances do change then be assured that I will make an appeal. For now, I’m comfortable with the way things are and I am extremely delighted to remove Google Ads from this site and to stop Patreon, it feels like a major step forward 🙂 Sorry, I missed your reply, I got blinded by another poster in this thread. Yes - I can confirm that I have always seen WRT as a not-for-profit website, and therefore - not a business as such. I’m lucky and have done well in my life due to a decision made in my teens to start a watch repairing apprenticeship which has sustained myself and my family for many years now. Consider this my small way of paying it forward. Ive been committed to keeping the site alive on a technical and financial level for over 10 years now and I have zero plans to change that. Thank you for your kind words by the way. And as for your wish - nobody can control what happens in life, if something happens to me I have things in place with my family but I’m just not comfortable talking about my personal business - I wish a certain person would respect that, but i’ve calmed down now - i’m only human 😄  
    • Yes, exactly. I've seen a few different versions, but mine has the blue water symbol, not white.    I think it's Acrylic. The case is plastic so I would the is the lens would be too.
    • Hi there Josh, welcome to the forum.
    • From the same listing, the back side: I would guess that the back pops off rather than the front. You can see a little groove there where the caseback sits over the winding stem, rather than a case tube. Look for an indent or notch around the back. It might be possible to pry this off from almost anywhere on the back if it sits right against the rubber strap. The movement looks like it is from the Ronda RL family (015 or 115 or something? I forget which numbers have a calendar and which don't)
    • I'd expect a similar notch somewhere around the rear to pop that off.
