    Hello all

    I receive this two images one from Galllet Chrono, and other from Leonidas solid gold case 14K from 1950.
    I´m really confused what will be the real market price, for this watches, talking about them they are 100% original without a new plastic operation, looking the two dial I believe they are 100% original; Showing use and time, they are not from yesterday... :) .
    Can anybody help me to guide real prices for this nice examples.
    I thank in advance for the help.

    Gallet dial has had some sharpie work. Dammed shame. . Were it decent I'd estimate $2500-3500.

    Gallet is in a chrome-plated case? What size? What movement?

    For the Leonidas. Gold or gold plated? What size case? What movement?

    Much more information is needed, so please post more photos and provide details if you're serious about getting advice.

    Hi
    Watch is from a friend, for the photos it is chrome-plated, he reports Gallet Multichron, Multichron was a special type, was developped specially for the order for American air forces, Therefore more than 90% of these watches which you can find on the web are with refurbished / repainted dials - you can recognize them according to the scale and index drawing being interrupted in the subregisters. For example these are with repainted dials:

    if you want I can give you direct contact, it is simply helping today, for to be helped tomorrow. I will inquire the movement and will give you the feedback.
    All the best

    With these further infos, I'd pay 1500$ max for the Gallet. Nice watch but chromed and with a very small size.

    Agree ... Gallet ...didn’t notice the case metal. Frankly with a ruined dial I’d pay 0.
