Watch appraisal

[Peahi]

Hi folks,

I continue to learn so, so much from the forum here. I'm hopefully on my way to a ND sub in the near future.

Anyhows, quick question. A family member has a gold airking from the 80s (I think late 80s). I've seen the watch many times over the years, but frankly the gold watch thing never caught my eye. I was wondering how one would best go about getting an approximate value? I don't see any around and I've tried searching on-line to get a ball park. I'm stumped. Will the current market value of gold affect the watch value greatly? Can you recommend any dealers who will appraise on-line (or locally in the SF bay area).

Thanks in advance for any replies.
