Can anyone identify this LeCoultre watch? The dial says LeCoultre (underlined)and the second had has an arrow on the end. The case back screws in and is marked on the outside 738956. On the inside it is marked LeCoultre Co.(undlerlined) and Swiss. The movement is marked JAGER LECOULTRE (underlined) and 332766. The movement has lines every so often the reflect in the light. It has a large unmarked crown and unfortunatley someone bent the lugs out to allow for a larger band size. It ran about a week but now the crown will only move the hands in both postions. It was in a box lot of junk watches I got for $5.00. Is this worth repair and what is most likely broken?WatchCasebackmovementcrown

I think in the condition the watch is in, not ruinning, poor dial & bent lug, it's worth about $150-175. It would cost you at least that much to get it going properly + $50-60 to restore the dial, and you then have to conten with the bent lug, which might be repairable. Hard to tell.
