Hi ggrandad,
Are there any inscriptions on the dial, case or movement? Hallmarks on the case? What do you know of the history of the watch? And a clearer photo of the movement, dial and case would help (remember to set the camera on the macro function and photograph in diffuse natural light).
Hopefully some of our members will recognise the watch and be able to assist you. How does she sound?

If I remember, there are some people on the NAWCC website (www.nawcc.org) (National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors) who might be able to help. There was a web site once where someone had put a stack of info on Le Phare but I can't find it. Land...
