Hi, I purchased the attached watch because I was so taken by the design and I am having the watch refurbed. It has dawned on me that I know very little about the watch apart from the 'Le Coultre' branding signifying that it was sold in the US. I believe that it may be an early 60s watch. It would be great to pick the brains of the better informed and learn a little more about this piece. The 17 Jewel movement is marked Le Coultre Co Swiss 810/AW with Serial No. 1005939. The inside of the back case is marked Cased and Timed by Le Coultre 971-114 474737. All and any insight would be much appreciated. thanks in advance!! Matt

Forgot to ask - any sense of value when in mint condition would be great so can insure. Cheers |

It dates to 1954/55. I wouldn't worry too much about insurance value as a plated top/steel back watch isn't going to get many collectors excited. Just enjoy it. |
