    Nice find and I like the case! I really like these older Lecoultres and JLCs. :)

    This one for exact EUR 200
    Not a clue really about authenticity and all, but a nice piece that wears nicely on the wrist.
    Gold plated or rolled or filled.

    And this Longines: more or less the same, heavy patina, but, wow, character.....:rolleyes:
    Bought it for approx EUR 95

    As well as this Belca: think I got it for free, but for the sake of the argument, let's just say EUR 50
    Gold plated: 10 microns or less...:D

    Fantastic thread idea by the way, thanks to @watchknut for suggesting broadening @Spacefruit's Omega thread.
