I recently took my Rolex to be appraised. I paid $115 at my local jeweler. With your watch, I might start at a nice antique shop that carries jewelry/military items, and once I had their opinion move to the appraisal. You might even go to an Army Surplus store. If the owner is a collector, he might have a clue about value, or know a collector who could assist you.
I'm not sure if you live in a big town or not, but where I live we also have multiple watch repair shops. I'm sure their knowledge could also help you gain a better starting point on price. When I took my grandma's alarm clock in to be fixed, the repairman told me the work would cost more than the clock. it was sentimental, so I did it anyway. Those repairmen are very knowledgeable even if they aren't official appraisers.
Your watch is in nice shape, was it a family members?
