Re: Looking for information on this vintage JLC

I think it was a normal watch with a leather strap, made in the 1940s then later modified to add the bracelet.

This is probably the movement family:

Value is going to be mostly that of the gold + the movement value.

Re: Looking for information on this vintage JLC

This is actually a watch that was made in the 1940s but was then subsequently modified by a jeweler. Most likely to add an integrated gold bracelet.

Re: Vintage JLC evaluation

Everything looks original except the crown which has been replaced. For the price, I have not had one recently, maybe around 2000-2500 USD.

Re: Memovox E875 - acrylic glass replacement

You should see a small split on the ring if it has one. It's typically at 6:00.

Any watchmaker should be able to accommodate this request. The original part is not anything special.

It may be the type that has a silver ring inside the crystal, if that is the case, have it fitted with one of those.

Re: Memovox E875 - acrylic glass replacement

The original glass is round plastic. Any generic crystal will look fine.

I've never seen OEM LeCoultre alarm crystals for sale.

Re: Is this a legit vintage JLC watch?

The refinished dial is worth at least 30-40% less than an original dial.

Re: Is this a legit vintage JLC watch?

Movement and case are legit, the dial as you noted appears refinished. Looks authentic to me.

Re: Baume & Mercier ladies' watch

I think on both your watches, it may have more of a "jewelry" value than a horological one. In that context, it's hard to value unless we have the weight on the metal and assessment of the quality of the stones on the B&M. I still don't think there is a ton of value there, but you have enough value ...
