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 ...

Re: Vintage Memovox Inquiry

They made around 17,000 no-date automatic memovoxes. I presently have 2 date ones for sale, values are similar.

Probably not honestly, unless it has sentimental value.

Re: very rare Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic E168 Amagnetic

If they have dials left, it's worth sending in, in my opinion. Even if you get a fairly big bill.

Re: very rare Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic E168 Amagnetic

There is a chance the factory has a few left, and in this case, it's probably worth it to send it in, even though they will charge you $2500-3000 for the dial and the overhaul.

Re: very rare Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic E168 Amagnetic

The watch is from 1958.

The dial is flaking and that is a big issue in my opinion. So it'll shard to value exactly as no one has dials anymore, so I will give you a wide range:

$12-18k.

Re: very rare Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic E168 Amagnetic

The Geophysic was made between 1958 and 1961. Probably most of them closer to 1958.
