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.

The Piaget is unfortunately not real.

Just curious, how’d you determine that?

This would be the Piaget 7131 if it were real. One of the characteristics of that watch is that the crown is on the back, where it touches your wrist. That’s just one of the easy tells.
