I have had this watch for several years but I can't seem to find anyone that is familiar with the model. I am working on getting pictures but in the meantime, here is a description: Slim Case, round white face with Roman numerals, Manual Wind, "Jaeger LeCoultre" across the top and "Swiss Made" across the bottom. Gold Across the top of the back it says "Gentilhomme" and "No. 0507" Along the bottom of the back it says "152.1.81" and "Jaeger LeCoultre" It has an unusual mark on the back which looks like a Christian fish but with a top fin, almost like a shark. There are also two little stamps in the back of the case. They are very small. Watch came with a black Jaeger band and was in fantastic shape. I bought it used in 1998 for about $2500. Anything that you can tell me about this watch would be greatly apprecitated. Thanks! | ||

Hi Tom, the watch is a collectible Gentilhomme, so don't worry about the money spend. Here some informations from 1990's German dealer catalog: 18k Gold white/yellow/red Handwind calibre 818 30m waterproof The fish symbol is the sign for waterproof. German retail price 1996 was DEM 7500 which equals EUR 3700. Ilja | ||

Thanks for the help. The watch was a purchase from a trusted jeweler. I am glad to see that the trust was not misplaced. |
