Hi, and welcome.

These Sekondas are nice, but not terribly expensive... anywhere between £10-25 depending on condition?

Nice, though!

Yes, I would say the same. 10-20 pounds.

Unusual to see a pocketwatch with a date.

I'm pretty sure that the movement is more usually found in wrist watches.

Compulsive behaviour is a symptom of Parkinson's, so I can't help collecting watches ;-) - but then, so is drooling :-( .

I bet you anything, that watch is gold-plated. If it is, I wouldn't bother buying it. Gold-plate rubs off amazingly fast.
