    Need some help with this pocket watch

    I was out today and dug this pocket watch in an old yard. Before I take it to a jeweler i thought I would run it by you guys first. I can't tell if it's 1970 junk or an 1870 gem. The face is metal not porcelain. I don't know anything about watches. Does the back look modern? What do you Think??
