LeCoultre Futurematic with Speidel Band
Forum rules
In order to provide a reasonable appraisal, we will need at least 3 of the following:
1) A picture of your watch. This is done using the "upload" feature.
2) Model number if known.
3) The case material, Silver, Steel or Gold, etc.
4) Case diameter & overall condition.
Due to the demands placed on my mailbox, I do not answer such inquires by direct mail. You must post your question here. Direct eMails regarding appraisals will be deleted and not answered.
Please note: Almost ALL the small ladies "cocktail" watches of brands such as Bulova, Gruen, Hamilton, etc., with gold trading at record prices are trading at or near scrap.

LeCoultre Futurematic with Speidel Band
I was given vintage LeCoultre Futurematic watch. I need direction to its value and the best plan to go about selling it and placing it with someone who appreciate it.
It is gold with a gold back and has a Spiedel expandable watch band. It runs and seems to be in nice condition. I do not know the model number, because I feel uncomfortable taking it apart. I guess I could try, but don't want to devalue it in anyway.
Any thoughts to any of these queries would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Re: LeCoultre Futurematic with Speidel Band
The band won't add any value. Is it gold or 'gold filled'?
Re: LeCoultre Futurematic with Speidel Band
I'm not sure if my last post went through. Images were attached, so it acted like it failed.
I finally got up enough courage to gently open the back of the watch. It is 10K gold filled. Here are some pictures. I will try to send a few more images including the one I meant to attach to my original post. I also can send a small video to show that the watch is running.

Re: LeCoultre Futurematic with Speidel Band
I was not able to attach a small video. It's only six seconds long, showing that the watch indeed runs. Is this something that could help you? If so, do you have a way that I can send it to you?
Re: LeCoultre Futurematic with Speidel Band
What do you want done with it?
Re: LeCoultre Futurematic with Speidel Band
The watch? - Ultimately sell it.
The video? - thought it would help you evaluate the watch.

Re: LeCoultre Futurematic with Speidel Band
The gold filled Futurematics are trading at $700-1200 depending on model and condition. I'm usually a buyer on the lower end of that scale running, less if not.

Is this face unusual? I have surfed and cannot find another exactly like this with only two numbers at 12 & 6. Any insight?
