Enjoying my Grandfathers Waltham.

This is from my father’s estate and he had a small collection of pocket watches, around a dozen, but this one was the only one he marked a value on and it also appears to be the heaviest and is likely 14k or 18k gold. This one was marked that he had “turned down an offer for $1100 in 1990”, and I’m wondering whether or not that was a good decision. I don’t have a reputable jeweler contact and I’m hoping that I can rely on Reddit to point me in the right direction. I’m just outside St. Louis, Missouri, there are plenty of jewelers close, but I have no idea where to start. I can’t say that I’m interested in owning this much longer. He also had a few nice wrist watches and that’s my keepsake. Any idea on value or the best way to get rid of it?
