Is this an Old Pocket Watch?

[Aquitaine]

This is rather an interesting and sentimental find that I came across the other day. It has an inscription on the inside to John on graduation 1984. It has markings on the back and there are two keys included. I don't know the reason for the keys, except to wind the watch perhaps I would love to know the age of it and if it's worth anything. Thanks so much!

The 1984 inscription I wound think was done around a hundred years after the watch was made. My thoughts are the watch was made within the last quarter of the 19th century, which would be before the 1917 date on the dial. Seems to me the key wind watches were out of fashion by the early 20th century.

It would be great if you flipped the cover open so we can see the works.
That may have the make if the watch, serial # it can be dated also.

Very nice piece.
