Depends on what it’s worth. However I may have it properly valued and then insured just in case!
Back in 2004/5 I sold 4 pocket watches which were no good to me, I should have kept them BUT.
To be honest these type of things are of no use other than sentimental purposes and probably it better that they go to a collector who will appreciate them.
At the moment I do not see any sense of it just sitting in a drawer as it has done for the last 40 years.
In a few years time it could end up ditched anyway, it’s had its time. I treasure photos and some tools of Dad’s more than his watch. He didn’t wear it very often, too valuable to use every day, not suitable for wearing when working or doing jobs at home, so kept in a drawer.
I will keep photos of it and his other stuff plus the story of his life that I have written.
What I do have are the wedding rings of Both my Grandfathers, Dad plus mine which I do not wear these days as now tight and stopped wearing mine as to dangerous to wear when doing jobs, had a close shave one day so stopped wearing it.
