Are you serious?  You found this in a wall!!!?  Incredible.  That is a sharp looking watch.  I'll take a wild guess and say early 70's because of the style of box, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.  Found in a wall...

YES, do not throw any of that away, it is worth more with all the paper work, tags, box and original band.

That is a late 1960's manual wind dress watch. While not worth a lot, it is NICE, and as you have the original band, paperwork, boxes, and tags, it is worth more than they normally are. It would also make a nice family heirloom if you got it serviced.
