Any value in vintage gold Rotary?
Discussion
Recently I've been gifted a vintage ladies Rotary that belonged to my Great Grandmother, which was given to her for 25 years of service at a carpet manufacturer, back in what we guess was the late 1960's.
It is in need of some TLC; but have been quoted £250 to return to manufacturer for a service which I would not mind doing (not for the inherent value as I am aware this is probably more than it's worth) but purely for sentimental reasons as my partner really likes the watch.
Just wanted an opinion on value / model if anybody knows anything more.
The casing is stamped 375 to side; face says Swiss Made - 21 Jewels. Strap states "rolled gold, stainless steel back"

Thank you UnclePat; that is as concise and as knowledgeable as I could have hoped for. In fairness, we only briefly stopped at The Watch Hospital (£250 and 10 weeks!) and Goldsmiths who said it would also have to be sent off to the manufacturer. It appears to wind and will happily tick away but only for a short period. Aesthetically, aside from a minor scratch to the face it appears to be well kept.
Due to the hallmark on the casing I'm assuming this is 9ct only and the strap will be rolled?
