How do you determine if pocket watch is gold or gold-filled?

[Edit]

if the watch has guaranteed or waranteed for a given number of years it is definitely a gold filled watch. The higher the number of years the more gold. But a maximum of 5% of the weight of the case without the movement times its caret value ie 14K. If it says U.S. Assay on the case it is actual gold.
