    Hi,

    I have decided it was time for consolidation! So I will put for sale a few watches I like to have but do not wear that much.

    Here is a very nice American cased Lecoutre with a cal. 480. As you can see on the pics, the condition is excellent.

    I include in this sale the leather band I put on it and the metallic band I was told was original to the watch when I bought it. I have no proof of that, but it can be true because it fits nicely the watch and has the same color.

    A personal remark: I like a lot this watch, which is perfect for rather small wrists like mine. But I do not like that much the way it fits on the wrist because of the lugs and the leather band - the watch kind of stand out and do not stay close to the wrist. I think this watch is supposed to be worn on a metallic band, but I do not like them. Be aware of that if you are interested by this watch.

    I serviced again the movement just before putting it on sale. It works great! Very good amplitude (300-250 at full wind), law delta over 6 positions (around 16 seconds at full wind), around + 2/+5 sec per day. The beat error is still a bit high (0.8 at full wind dial up, a little bit more on some other positions), but it is not really an issue. More details upon request.

    Diameter (not including the crown): 3,2 cm

    Case: 10K gold filled

    Movement: Lecoultre 480

    Crown: I think it is original


    For this watch and the two bands, I am asking 500 euros. Paypal is OK for registered members. I take the fees on me. Shipping worldwhile (but I reserve the right to avoid certain destinations!) at cost. I will only ship the watch with tracking number and insurance - details to be discussed with the buyer.

    I add that, like @ConElPueblo, I think that anounces are part of the Forum and can be the occasion of any comment you may have. So fell free to add any remark or question you may have!

    I add some pics with the metal strap and wrist shots - I have a 16 cm diameter wrist.

    Let's try 450 euros. I do not anticipate any further reduction as I think the price is fair.

    Still available. Maybe last bump before eBay or something else.
