    Here we have a very nice LeCoultre watch from approx. 1950. 32mm case. 800/CW manual wind movement. Excellent condition original dial with a couple small marks (see pics). A few scratches on the crystal. The original gold minute and hour hands. It has a blued seconds hand which I'm not sure is original but I believe it is based on research. The watch winds smoothly and ticks but the service history is unknown so a service is highly recommended before using. It has spent the last 50 years in a drawer. Note that one of the lugs is very slightly bent and will have to be bent back into place. An easy procedure for a watchmaker but I won't risk trying myself. Also, one set of lugs has been drilled out for some unknown reason. Other than these issues the watch is in nice vintage condition. Please review all pics as they are integral to the description. I do not normally accept returns unless item was not as described.
    I have only been able to find one example of this watch in my research so I believe they are uncommon. The one example I could find can be seen at this link: https://auctionata.com/en-us/o/81173/lecoultre-wristwatch-switzerland-around-1950
    This example sold for 720 Euros (not including 28% buyer's premium) in 2014. I'm asking 500USD net to me. Shipping $10 in CONUS, international available, please ask for rate.
