Does anyone has an idea on the value of such a watch ? Is it suspect if it's only signed LeCoultre ? I'm just afraid this could be a fake or refurbished one. The seller asks for 1000 euros. Any advice would be more than welcome. Thx in advance![photos](https://www.classicwatch.com/discus/messages/622/7907.jpg) ![photo](https://www.classicwatch.com/discus/messages/622/7908.jpg) |

It looks like an American market watch that has had it's dial repainted to look like a European model. You're better off buying one that's either an all American market watch or an all European one, not a mixture of both. |

Thx a lot Zaf for your wise reply. It's very helpful. Can you just tell me how does an European model look like ? what is an American market model ? |

The looks will be similar, the dial & movement would be signed JLC not LeCoultre and the case will not state "cased & timed in the USA". |
