I can't tell you on the modern one. It will trade as a percentage of retail. What is the case & band made of on the vintage one?

On the vintage one, the head is probably worth $400-500 + value of the bracelet, so call it $550 to $750. Hard to tell exactly without having it.

Vintage 14K LeCoultre dress models like yours have been selling at auction for around $450. The gold band will add around $150 to the value. They're one of the more common LeCoultre models found from the period (1960s) and there are usually 2-3 on auction every week.

If you're just trying to find value for insurance purposes, double that amount. Insurance estimates tend to be higher because people don't re-estimate their coverages yearly to accomodate for inflation/appreciation.

Hope this helps,
