The back unscrews, but DO NOT attempt to unscrew the back yourself without proper tools. This is a valuable watch and any scuffs to make on the case trying to open it will significantly lower the value. | ||

I thank you for the replys,the update is that,Im not sure where it was purchased it was in a box but i discovered that was not the box it came in,im sorry for the confusion I had it checked this morning by a qualified jewler,he had the tool to unscrew back told me it was Geniune as did the person who posted about it. he gave me a # that was on inside of cover which is 24053632227 and another number K831 which I was told is the caliber of the movement so Im hopeing that some one can tell me more about the watch,value and age thank you    | ||

Approximately 2,500 LeCoultre Quartermasters were made by LeCoultre. They were produced around 1957-1958, based upon the movement serial number of the 3 examples I've bought/sold in the last few years. Market value (all original) tends to be around $1,200-$1,500 in this depressed market. A few years ago, they were fetching a bit more. There's really nothing more to tell about the watch. |
