Here are the pictures and information that I have:

Outside Case: 895349
Inside Case: Modele Depose
Acier Inoxydable
LeCoultre Swiss
1966
Serial Number:1531929

I can't see the caliber - Any idea?

Would you recommend a dial refinish, or try to find a NOS dial? It seems to be running very well, but it's too soon to tell on accuracy.

Would you be able to estimate a value in its current condition?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
Evan Morgan

Hi. It would be unlikely to find a NOS dial, so a refinish is your best bet. I do not know wnayhting about the model, but the case reference, if it follows the pattern of other watches, would be "1966". This was made in the mid 1960s.

Zaf -

Thanks for the info. I figured that a re-dial was the best bet.

What has been your experience with refinishing. I've seen varying results.

Any idea what a decent job would cost?

Please feel free to e-mail, if you prefer.

Thanks again,

Evan

The movement is cal. 819.
1966 is the reference number - found it in a `65 catalog. Came with different dial layout options.
Was availabe in steel, yellow-, red- and white gold. Also plaque with steel back.
