    Thanks for posting.
    First of all we don't give valuations in this forum. Please read our sticky notes for reasons why.
    New York Standard made watches from 1885 to 1929. They made approx. 8 million watches but I don't have a serial number list for them sorry. I would guess your watch was made in the early 20th century, probably after World War I.
    It looks to me like a 7 jewel 12S Model Number 170. Hunter case.
