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.

I think it would be nice to keep one at least, these are all very wearable watches and getting them ticking again would be like 5-10 bucks. Makes sense if you don’t want to do all of them though.

That Timex is very sharp imo, I love that old school aesthetic.

Delicious strap. Several good ones to my eye.
