Need Help With Appraising

[cbritton]

Hey guys,

I collected pocket watches when I was a kid. Most of the time my parents would buy them for me on my birthday and Christmas. I've been thinking about getting back into collecting them. I don't have a lot of money right now, but I thought selling one of my watches and buying maybe something a little nicer. I am thinking of selling a Hamilton 992 Most of my watches are Illinois Bunn Specials and I think they're worth more than the Hamilton. If you guys could help me I'd really appreciate it.

The watch is:
21 jewels
Double Roller
5 positions adjusted
The pendant pops up, but doesnt do anything when I turn it.
The case says Base Metal
The back of the case is worn and has a train on it.
The dial is perfect although there seems to be a small dimple where the second hand is.
The dial has each individual minute on it.
Serial number 1160409

If you guys could give me an idea of how much the watch is worth I'd appreciate it. Also how do you know if the watch has a gold wheel like some of the 992 do? Here are some pictures of the watch. Thanks for all the help!
