You bring an action in replevin against your brother, seeking a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction. Also, notify the antique dealer that the watch is stolen and belongs to whomever it belongs to. I assume great grandfather is dead and someone inherited the watch legitimately.

If it stolen and you know where it is now, call the police and see if they will assist you in recovering it.
