 I recently received four old and seemingly non-functional watches from a family member.  I've attempted to take photos but they aren't too helpful so I'll put some basic information below along with the pictures.  I am wondering if these A) have any value beyond sentimental, B) Are likely repairable, C) Any thoughts as to what to do with them!  All have either no strap or a worn elastic-like gold strap.

1) Gold Seiko Quartz.  "SQ" appears on front and has date and day of week indicator.  This one seems the least promising of the bunch. 

2)  Accutron with no date.  Caseback says "Bulova... Waterproof... Stainless Steel... Patented" and then in the center says "gold filled bezel" and has C96032 on it (serial number?).  It has what appears to be two circles with a philips screwdriver slot on its back... not sure if this is for setting it as there seems to be no crown.  I believe this one is an auto. 



3)  Tradition with date that says "17 Jewels, selfwinding" on the front.  Back says absolutely nothing except 10k gold filled.


4)  Hamilton with no date but does have a small inner dial that appears to be the second hand.  Back says 14k gold D&A and has "25 years service" and a "D" engraved on the center.  The tip of the crown seems to be missing and just a wire (that the crown would screw onto) is sticking out.


Any advice is much appreciated... even if it to tell me these are all useless and ready for the scrap heap!
