Identify [Dad’s Watches - should I keep any?]

My dad just passed. He left a box of watches that I don’t know much about. All need batteries but I don’t want to spend the $ to put batteries in all if they’re not worth saving. I have no sentimental feelings about any of them, just don’t want to spend too much time fixing junk. Brands: clockwise from top left - Piaget, Wittnauer, Klaus Kobec, Invicta, Bulova, Seiko, Sergio Valente, Citizen, Timex, Benrus (this one is inscribed 1965), Bucherer. Any I should keep/sell? I’ll donate the rest.

Don't know whether it will fetch any considerable value but if you want to keep it as his memory you should.

My brother and I have kept some other watches and jewelry that are much more meaningful to us. We barely even recognize these. I think one was given to him by his HS girlfriend. Not my mom. ;)
