Answer: G'day Chris and many thanks for your query.
You might be asking the wrong person here as we are NOT watchmakers. However as a Jewelry Valuer, I can tell you that a broken watch is NOT going to be valued at the same price as a working one. That's just logical.
If the watch had been repaired and is now in working order - then the repair would not make any difference to the value. It is considered 'As good as new'.
The only other consideration is the metal the pocket watch is made from. ie: Gold or Silver, as even in a broken watch - the gold still has value - all be it a Scrap Value, unless the watch is a particular collectors item, in which case it will have a higher value.
