to scared to open it up since I dont know how but it still works when you wind it. Very pretty watch I think.Was this made for men or women? Seems very delicate and made for a woman but for the age it could have been a mens watch that was simple. What does 10bt mean and 15jewel?

Men's vintage watches are much smaller then the oversized standards of today. If you starts cruising through the ads you'll see that the ladies were even smaller, most smaller than a dime. 10BT is a movement model # stamp and there are several. 15 Jewel is the jewel count, this could be 7, 15, 17, 23, and even 30 jewels.

An appraisal would be a waste of your money. You can get a pretty good idea of value just going on Ebay and seeing what they sell for.
If it hasn't been serviced in the past few years I would suggest you take it in to be cleaned and oiled. Running the watch dry can damage the movement.
