Hi, I have inherited a pocket watch from my great grandfather, I have been searching for days for anything similar so that I might identify what watch I have and the value, but with no luck.. Seems one of a kind, it does have many strange markings and engraved stamps, some of these are letters too. (HM, K, lions head, numbers 6160 with a 3 on top of the 1) its an open face with fancy engraving on the center dial, and flowery back inside it has 2 holes to wind and adjust , can anyone help with these details I have provided please..

If there is no maker's name on the movement, it is unlikely that it is a valuable watch. It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words. Several pictures could be worth several thousand words. For starters, if the case is silver, the lion's head could be the hallmark for a London made case. The "K" could be the year the case was marked. Google British Hallmarks and see if anything matches the marks on the case.
