Could you please provide a date and value of the following watch? My father purchased it new. He believes it was the late 1950s when he purchased it. - 32mm width case - 10k gold filled - New debeer leather strap - completely serviced by authorized JLC dealer in March 2014 - condition is excellent | ||

I can't date it unless a movement serial number is provided. Gold filled dress watches are usually not worth a whole lot, besides the obvious sentimental value. | ||

I am reluctant to open the back to get the movement serial number as I don't have a tool to open it. Any suggestions? | ||

If you want an actual date, the serial will be required, though I'm in agreement it's late 1950s. JLC also probably noted the serial in their invoice. | ||

Ok thank you. I will see if I can get the serial number from the jeweler. Any guess on the value? I know it probably has more sentimental value than actual. | ||

Probably around $300. Again, gold filled dress = low collector interest. | ||
