When your mom and dad died, the probably had a will of some sort. Even if they didn't, you still had to go and see a notary about the inheritance settlements. There is most likely an inventory of your parent's belonings, along with a list of who inherited what.
If the list is there, you just point out that the watch is rightfully yours and the case is closed. I should hurry up though, if she already stated that she had the intention to sell it. Once it's gone, you can't prove they still have it.
I really hope this turns out good for you. It's never a pleasant experience when a sibling steals from you. I've experienced it myself multiple times, my case was about money. I used to save money in a room I share with my younger brother. One day I came home and found out he stole it to maintain his high (he's a pothead). It's all fun and games if you get it back afterwards, as in: just loaning it. But... I never got mine back.
That's why I urge you to do so. You'll be forever remembered of what they stole from you. Not a day goes by without wondering how the bond between me and my brother can have such little trust in it. Not to mention mine is a sneaky little bastard, but yours just tells it straight in your face.
Does it make sense for family to steal from one and other?

It's actually very simple.

Anyway, good luck and... get your watch back ;-)
