Let's try this again.
I have been asked to evaluate several old pocket watches for an estate and I am wondering about the age of this fine ring watch. I am suggesting about 1830 to 1850 for the case. However, note that the 12 is not in the proper position, and the style of the movement seems much later, say 1900. I could not get a good photo of the movement but it is similar to an Agassiz that I have. The movement has no marks, but the case is stamped 750 and 'FD'
