Roidor Gold Masonic Pocket Watch

[wesfrye53]

I have just recently become acquainted with this site and am amazed at the wealth of information and answers that are provided, so I thought I'd post this.

I recently inherited this Roidor Gold Masonic Pocket watch from my uncle. He was a Freemason, Past Master, 33 degree Scottish Rite Mason, Deputy District Grand Commander, and Shriner in Pennsylvania.

I have searched and searched for Roidor watches on the web with no luck as to anything except folks, mostly in Europe, that would repair them. Can anybody tell me, or point me to a site that would provide information on Roidor pocket watches, age , and value?

I took the picture with my webcam so if I need a clearer picture, I'll update.

Not much out there on the Internet.

Thanks Charlie. I found that site and also found a Roidor "Precision" on another site. You are definitely right....not much out there!

Have you checked under the back for more description?

No, I didn't want to risk scratching the case. Probably take it to a jeweler to get it open.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Re: Roidor Glod Masonic Pocket Watch

are they worth anything

 

[wesfrye53]

That's what I'm trying to find out. To a Mason, it may be worth a lot more.

I found this one, but not a Roidor. I wonder if Roidor is still an existing company?

You're right about the repair shops all being in the UK. Suggest you send them an email.

Thanks for the suggestion. Surely they can point me in the right direction.
