Ok, so a user named Greg identified it in the other forum, but I had only one bad picture. Now that I managed to take some better pictures, I'm hoping for a little narrower value range. Watch is recently serviced and keeps accurate time. Thank-you. [quote]This watch was part of LeCoultre's "Montres d'Elegance" series, model #250A. It appeared in LeCoultre advertisements around 1961.[/quote]    | ||

Also, are those pictures sufficiently detailed? | ||

Honestly, I'm not too good with the ladies stuff, maybe GregB can chime in. Obviously it's worth the gold + stones + a base amount between $50 and $250. | ||

My guess is going to be around $700-800. As there are a fair amt of diamonds. | ||

Zaf's estimate is probably pretty accurate. Actually, on ladies' watches, value is closely tied to venue, time of year and your marketing ability. I've had similar models that fetched $1,000+ at auction, but I had catalog-grade pictures and a good marketing description. You have about 3/4 carat of diamonds and roughly 4-5 grams of 14K in the case. The band appears like it's probably 14K also, and is probably another 10 grams. Probably $600 scrap/melt total. Greg |
