I hit a community yard sale today and did great. I got a Wolf Design Module 1.5 watch winder new in the box for $20 and the receipt for $195 was in the box too. I also saw a box of jewelry for $1 each and noticed a $165 price tag. Turned it over and the tag was for a Lily Pulitzer pearl bracelet. I also got a really nice hand painted tile for $3 which is signed M Watson and well executed. I also picked up this really cool Dunhill Sylph lighter with crocodile skin for $5. Already have two watchers on this. At another sale I picked up these 6 EPSN Sheffield cocktail spoons with bakelite ball ends. Very cool. I also got a Will Aren belt buckle for $5. Not silver but well made and a nice design. It sill had the original sticker on the back. I then swung by the antiques mall where I got my last gold Tavannes watch for $20 and spied this is the case. I fell immediately in love with it and boy did it cost me. I dropped $385 on it but this LeCoultre 14kt gold watch is one of the most beautiful watches I have seen. I could not leave without it. It is art deco to the 9th degree with cut and raised numbers. I have seen nothing like it anywhere on the internet. I will NEVER part with this. I am one happy guy today.

That watch is probably one grand+... Very unusual design! You should go to a watch forum and post it there like watchuseek under vintage watches, they can give you an estimate on the year and what not! Lets see the movement!

Here is a pic of the back. Apparently the LeCoultre marked watches are US marketed watches of the Swiss company Jaeger-LeCoultre. The used Swiss movements and american-made cases to avoid taxes. This case was made by D & A which is a well known maker of cases in New York.

I just sold the lighter to a man in Australia for $75 Plus shipping. That was a quick 12 hour flip.
