eBay Connoiseur of Time 1951 JAEGER-LECOULTRE Vintage Mens Watch, Rare Bradley II Model, 14K Gold – SHIPS WHEEL Special Model – Pleasing Condition – Elegant & Dramatic – 1 Year Warranty Special Model – Pleasing Condition – Elegant & Dramatic – 1 Year Warranty The wristwatch featured in today’s offering as one of the most desirable U.S. market vintage dress models made by Jaeger-LeCoultre. Long ago Jaeger-LeCoultre built their reputation as masters of watch design. This commitment to stylistic excellence produced a number of exquisitely sculpted watches (like the Reverso), and the company’s tradition for beautiful design continued to show-up in certain models of their later American market watches like this watch. In vintage times, the company carried on the tradition and crafted certain very distinctive watches for the less restrained American market. Such is the case with the wristwatch featured in today’s offering, one of the most desirable U.S. market dress models made by Jaeger-LeCoultre. Officially named the Bradley II, but more commonly known among collectors as the “Ships Wheel” or “Bottle Cap”, it possesses elegance and drama in spades. The vast majority of these were made with plain black dials. This is much less often seen and, in my opinion, much more striking and elegant silver two-tone version. We were fortunate to acquire it with all of its original parts, down to the untouched dial, all of its original hands, and even the original crown. A beautiful 14K gold period correct bracelet has previously been added to the watch and soldered between the lugs to make it integral. It really makes the watch a statement piece for those looking for something with elegance, drama, and gold. The dial has slightly warmed to a light sepia tone giving the watch a true vintage look. Its case, which has rippling to the back, presents as mint on the wrist. Its untouched original dial is also in excellent condition. And its high-grade movement is near pristine. One of our Master Watchmakers has disassembled it down to its last screw and cleaned and oiled it and installed a new crystal to give a clear view to the edge of the dial. It is running extremely strong and true, keeping time essentially on par with a new JLC in our testing recording position. For the finishing touch, we have meticulously detailed it making it ready for immediate enjoyment. Included with the purchase is a one-year international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate. Your watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime. We provide the best after sale care in the business with an extremely experienced team of four Master Watchmakers all of whom each have over thirty-five years of experience and a large number of parts. One used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealership and was given special training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center and also has done authorized work for the Richemont brands which includes JLC, Cartier, and others. We have serviced/restored hundreds of vintage LeCoultre watches. This a special opportunity to own a very fine and rare JLC timepiece’s before it slips into someone’s prized collection.

Our goal is to exceed your expectations throughout the buying experience. We hope you love it! The water resistance of vintage watches can no longer be guaranteed and is not covered under the watch’s warranty. We don’t recommend getting a vintage watch wet – and really don’t recommend showering or diving with it – even one that was originally designed to be waterproof. We have extensive international shipping experience. In the last 12 years we have safely shipped thousands of high value watches around the world (to over 70 countries!). All items are packaged very carefully and mailed in large reinforced shipping boxes appropriate for high value items so you don’t need to worry about your watch arriving safely. Wait until you see how big the box is that your watch is coming in! (Please do remember though that while we do our very best and have careful procedures and quality control inspections – we will again fully re-test the proper functioning of your watch after you pay, right before we send it to you – from time to time some courier workers don’t handle packages the way we think that they would want their own packages to be handled. Watches are ultra-precision instruments, and the timekeeping of most is governed by a small spring that is only about 1/8 the thickness of a human hair. The vast majority of our watches arrive safely and problem free. However at times vintage watches and their hairsprings can be sensitive to rough courier handling or just having a difficult trip to you. But even on a bad day there’s still good news… We offer a full one-year warranty on virtually every watch we sell (unless occasionally specifically stated otherwise), so if anything happens to it in transit or goes wrong anytime in the first year, we will gladly repair it for you at no charge. Yes, even the older vintage watches. So sit back, relax, and dream about the first place where you’re going to wear your new watch! Our official warranty in many ways mirrors those of a number of the watch manufacturers and covers the proper timekeeping of the movement. It does not cover things like abuse, being dropped, crystals, bracelets, crowns, case parts etc. or water resistance. While we are the sole determinants of what qualifies for warranty work…. even if you have a problem that you don’t think will qualify for coverage, tell us about it anyway. We are here to serve and just might be able to help you. Winning bidders must fully pay within 48 hours of the end of the auction. After 48 hours the watch will be relisted. To be fair to all bidders, we make it our practice not to end an auction early. Because of the high rate of lost items and number of fraudulent payments, we do not sell or ship to Indonesia or Africa. _______________________________________________________ Payment information – we accept: Paypal Visa, American Express, Mastercard, and Discover via eBay checkout Check (We have to hold the watch until the check clears.)
