Hi there, Trying to figure out what this blighter is: http://uk.geocities.com/carterclout/watch_face.jpg http://uk.geocities.com/carterclout/watch_back.jpg Purchased in Switzerland circa 1970. Judging by the way it ticks it's automatic (sorry I'm a real novice on this!...) Serial #: 1182045 A | ||

Hi Matthew, your watch seems to be a ref. 9025. Caliber 818 (Handwind). The "A" indicates 18K solid gold. Retail for this watch was 870 German Marks in 1968. Movement details can be found here: http://www.jaeger-lecoultre.org/Caliber-details/Caliber_818_Page_1.jpg http://www.jaeger-lecoultre.org/Caliber-details/Caliber_818_Page_2.jpg Ilja | ||

I worked out that 870 marks in 1968 is about �970 (GBP) at current prices. Would anyone have any idea what this watch would be worth today if sold second hand (e.g. eBay!)? Watch is in good condition, no scratches - but no box... Thanks Matt |
