Won this one at auction recently. Not familiar with the brand. Anyone have any insight here as to the maker or the movement?

Picked up this vintage manual wind memovox not long ago. Almost certain the dial was (poorly) repainted at some point give. The combination of the full JLC text on it, the fact the movement is marked just Le Coultre, and that it reads “wrist alarm” as opposed to memovox. But would like a second opinion. The lume of the indices is also very puffy and poorly applied when you look at it under magnification.

Other question I have is whether the crowns are original here.

What’s the consensus on restoring these? Refinish the dial? Find a donor movement with a clean dial? What’s the play here?

Just got this one in today after winning it in an auction over the weekend. I’d bought to resale but damned if it doesn’t fit my wrist perfectly (and feel pretty great on it too) so it will likely hang around for awhile.

Anyone familiar with this specific ref? Eterna isn’t necessarily one of the brands I know a ton about. Any input appreciated.

Just picked up this vintage Arsa Automatic Jump Hour. Not seen many that are mechanical like this one. Nor with the stainless steel cuff bracelet intact. It runs and keeps time well.
