I was looking at an 18K (1949?) automatic USA cased LeCoultre.
It shows a 476/2 movement but I cannot find a mention in your book.

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.

Re: Early bumper automatic
Hi it didn't make the book as it's just a round time-only watch that isn't chronometer. This model does however exist as a chronometer, and I've been trying to buy one for a few years now. When I do, that will go into the book.

Re: Early bumper automatic
I was looking at the Powerwind section last night (Page 150) and the 476 is mentioned.
"a direct descendant of calibre 476, LeCoultre's first bumper movement."
So it was there all the time!
Solid 18K approx 1950.
Is the case reference stamped inside the rear case?
The seller wants $2100, is that reasonable do you think?
Naturally I would want to see the movement.
Cheers

Re: Early bumper automatic
One of my consignors has a better example in my opinion:
