 hope this helps. This hallmark is present on the inner back cover, inside cover, and along the edge of the case. It almost looks like a winged lion that is lying down…

that is a high grade euro watch, its open face and is rim set

the high quality case has Jurgensen lips.  the case is hinged

 

the movement has wolfs teeth winding and a capped escape wheel

it also has a bean shaped hairspring stud holder

 

even the dustcover which has all the verbiage looks like gold

 

this is a high grade watch and I am 99 percent sure its solid gold

 

this looks like its from around 1890 to 1910 maybe.

 

I am sorry I cant help more with the mark but I am pretty sure its gold

 

an advanced collector will know who the GS or maker of the case is

 

this is a nice quality watch

Looking at photos seems to be some markings on the rim of the watch case holding the movement:

Photos of them if possible and they are hallmarks.

A photo of the escapement (wheel with screws) and surrounding would be good.

As others user said seems to be a nice watch and may be a gold case.

That marking, third photo, on the rim, is the same winged creature mark as originally posted.
