Something like Junghans should work.

Re: Help Identifying Watch

It looks like maybe a French made case from the 1950s?

Re: Cal 449, 18 ct. Rose Gold

For a collector the dial refinish hurts the value, but maybe not so much for a more casual person that just wants a nice watch. I'd say in my circles it's worth around $1000 - $1400.

Re: Help with Memovox age please.

Movement made around 1971 though it may have been cased a little later. It has an adjusted to 5 positions movement indicative of chronometer grade, which is nice.

Re: Need your opinion: Memovox

Re: Latest Addition: Jaeger LeCoultre Cal. 449 18 ct. Rose Gold

Original dials on these watches are never that good and most of these cal 4xx snap backs have had their dials redone. The small details that are 'off' are a good indicator of the dil being refinished. I'm certain it's been refinished. I also see the print of the sub second area being slightly too hi...

Re: JLC dials - real or remade ?

Re: Vintage chronograph

Maybe $450-600. It's not all that collectible and the Valjoux 7733 isn't one of my favorites.

Re: Vintage chronograph

I think Wakmann was the US distributor, and Gigandet was the Swiss brand.
