Description is: The near mint solid 14k gold case is fully signed and hallmarked for LeCoultre inside The solid 14K case is fully marked inside; 14K L.W.W.Co INC USA 33747

It is a USA market watch. It's real EXCEPT, the dial has been repainted as a Jaeger-LeCoultre. It should say LeCoultre. So if you're intent on having originality, the watch would fail that test. | |||||

Thanks Zaf for the very quick response! What do you mean by American Market? As It was probably going to be c$1000 - maybe best to wait for originality | |||||

It's a watch that was sold in the USA. As such, the dial should say "LeCoultre" not JLC. I would not pay $1000c if I were you. | |||||

Thanks Zaf - what do you reckon it is worth? Have you got anything similar in stock? | |||||

$600-700usd is what I think it is worth, nothing similar sorry. |
