Any info on this watch is greatly appreciated. Other than the photo, the only clue available is a small stamp at the case back "10KGOLDFILLED L&K" Thanks!

Looks like a early 1950's US market LeCoultre. The movement was made in Switzerland, sent here and put in a US made case. Probably a model 480/CW movement. When these movements are properly adjusted, they are very, very accurate. I think the crown had been replaced at some point, this is easily fixed. Otherwise, a very attractive watch. I like the guilloche dial a lot! Enjoy, gatorcpa |

Thanks Gatorcpa! You are right about the movement accuracy. I have send it to a watch maker to check her rate and was suprise that it is very accurate. About +3 sec per day! That's very good considering its age! |
