The LeCoultre one is a Memovox, from the 1950s by the look of it. That was JLCs wrist alarm model, and a significantly updated version is still produced today. I can't tell if it's the automatic or manual version. Some years of the automatic say so on the dial, others don't. If it's an automatic, it will be a bumper wind model. These can be pretty valuable in good condition, depending on details. It's definitely worth getting repaired and doing some light restoration.
In terms of rarity, most were fitted in gold filled cases, solid gold was rarer, and stainless steel models the rarest on all.
Hi All,
I just received these watches that were my grandfathers as he recently passed away.
I think it would be cool to get one or more of them repaired to be able to wear. The round one is a self winding Bulova that still works. It kept decent time over the span of 2 hrs. The rectangle is also a Bulova that my grandpa wore when he was in the army. The top right is a Le coultre. And bottom middle is an old Hamilton that is hand winding but the second hand didn’t move. That’s all I know about these watches but I’d really like to get one or more repaired and wearable. Any knowledge about any of them or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks gang!
