Any opinions on a LeCoultre

Hey no biggy and to clarify I’m not a flipper but need to sell some things to get new things. I am a bit torn as it’s not often I have time to look around little shops for watches and although this isn’t a “special” LeCoultre it’s pretty cool imo. I did search several LeCoultre sites, eBay and chrono but I can’t find this exact reference. I don’t sell things here as I never think my watches are nice enough to do so and I hardly ever sell anyway.

I was thinking of putting it on eBay but then why would I drop it off for service today. It is gold filled, I’m thinking 1950’s as I scouted 1940’s LeCoultre couldn’t find this exact example. It probably is 33mm maybe 34mm as gartacopa suggested. I’m just curious what a fair price to ask if I were to sell it. I’m under no illusions that it’s extremely valuable but if I need to move something I’d probably sell this rather than the astronaut on fleabay or attempt a local sale. I honestly have no clue what to ask, things are only worth what someone is willing to pay and if I do get a service I’ll probably have 300 or so into it which might be its value forcing me to keep it which I wouldn’t mind.
Sorry at my desk harsh pictures. I’m thinking perhaps it’s not the original crown. It’s very hard to get an accurate price range on chrono 24 as people ask such ridiculous prices. So if anyone has any idea I’d love to hear I didn’t pay much so even if you tell me 180 I’m even at this point. Thanks for doing my homework which I attempted but failed at.

My "finds" all cost thousands of dollars. 🙁 Well done, sir.

Ha ha when I was trying to find the value of this little LeCoultre I saw that the vintage divers JLC seem to run 30k plus. I ran back to the store I got this one out and dug through everything and asked the owner, no such luck but tomorrow he is bringing in some “nice stuff” he has in his safe at home. What you think maybe 500-600 for this on a good day for the right person?

After a service with it running well I think that would be a reasonable price.. maybe even a bit low..

See there are two issues here. When will I ever run into a LeCoultre for under 200 again. The second issue is all of our eBay sales go into mrs walrus account and you think eBay fees are bad you should see Mrs walrus fees. I’ll need a crow bar to get the cash from her.
Also my wife doesn’t have any bad habits or collectables she spends money on I can use against her to justify all the watches I have. She’s like a frugal Saint it really is a lose lose situation

😜😁

If you wanna sell it just use that site for only the finest vintage watches on our planet… what is it called.. OmegaForums.net/WatchMarketplace ?? 😁

I have bought numerous watches here. Still have everyone I bought. Never sold anything here I don’t view my stuff as nice enough to sell here I usually do face 2 face in my area but my wife is an eBay Jedi I was going to have her list it, she sells things I never thought would sell, including my old stuff I didn’t tell her she could

Ha, never watches though just old tools, concert shirts and video games I never use.

I did drop off the LeCoultre for service even if I decide to sell it I feel compelled to do my part to maintain a vintage watch. I am walking out with my new CIA, U2 Elvis watch keeping excellent time
