How do you know if an old watch is real gold?
1 Answer

To know if an old watch is real gold, look on the back of the case for hallmarks. Most watchmakers stamp their genuine gold timepieces with markings, such as 10K, 14K, 18K, 22K, 583, 750 and 916. If you don't find a hallmark, consider having a certified appraiser or knowledgeable jeweler inspect your watch for you. Find a variety of gold watches on 1stDibs.
