Title: Awesome Early LeCoultre SS Hand Wind Serviced

Description: EXCELLENT condition. Boy, this is a real honey and the only thing not perfect about it is that the size is mid-sized, not larger like this one we just sold recently...click here. Housed in a signed, three piece steel case which has been lightly buffed but still shows much of the original brushed finish seen on the sides of the middle body, for example. No corrosion or rust which we see on older steel watches often. Easy to grip crown is a replacement as is the acrylic crystal. Wayne has also fully serviced, oiled and timed the LeCoultre in-house Caliber 450/3A hand winding movement and it is a real stunner. I should've taken a pic of it before he sealed it up. It comes with a rare one year warranty which is sweet for such an old watch. Pick your own nice Hadley Roma or other strap from our accessories page if you don't like the Gator style in light brown seen in the photos but it goes with this fantastic original tan military style dial really well. Speaking of the dial, this one is what I look for in vintage, evenly aged original dials. Lots of character in that it has aged and darkened but is almost un-used or damaged in any way, including the original hands. There is a little dark smudging or spotting between the 15 and 16 and just outside the 3 and 4pm radium Arabic numerals. I'll be sorry to see this fantastic example of a 1940's LeCoultre go. Measures 31 mm wide (not including the crown) x 39 mm long x 11 mm thick. {$695} Item #5645 SOLD
