Help me identify an old watch!

December 17, 2006 6:02 PM

Please help me identify/value this watch that I inherited from my grandfather.

Here's what I know about it: It was made by Le Coultre, in or before 1962, since according to the inscription that's when it was given to my grandfather. The gold is 14K, according to the back. The crystal appears to be original, and is completely intact and unscratched.

I've searched a great deal on eBay and Google and various antique sites, and I've found similar watches, but nothing quite the same. Can anyone help me figure out what exact watch this is, and how much it's likely to be worth?

If the folks here can't help, try posting the identical question at timezone.com in the Jaeger-LeCoultre (JLC) forum. You'll have an accurate answer so fast your head will spin.

The JLC forum on classicwatch.com (registration required) is also a good place for this question. There are few, if any, who know as much about JLC timepieces as Zaf Basha, the forum's moderator.
