What is the serial number of the movement? It does sound like a 1960s model. I couldn't tell you what it is without photo, and even then, it may not have a model name, just a case reference number. | ||

Thouse numbers I've posted are all from inside watch.on the back cover are 18K gold hallmarks and #20007 then on movement part I think was one of those other #'s | ||

Look's like the movement # is K885. When you google jaeger lecoultre K885 you'll find many nice pictures of this watch. There is one simmilar to mine with numbers 20002 21002 | ||

If you are saying the movement serial is 1.9M then it's from 1968-69. | ||

the writer describes 2 small markings stamped on the back but no mention of the letter "a" in association with the number. could this be a post-war french-made model? | ||

If the markings are an Eagle head, then yes, it would be a French piece. | ||

Yes, there are 2 pcs markings what looks like head of person or now, when you mentioned eagle, it cold very well be an eagle.I have to take a better look with my magnifier.Thank's for your insight . Now I'm even more curious about term "french piece" ? Is this piece perhaps not made in Swizerland ? | ||

If the case has an eagle, then the case was used in the French market. If it only has an eagle then the case was made in France. If it has an eagle and the Swiss ladies head, then it was made in Switzerland but imported into France. | ||

I've took a better look and found ladies head stamps with what looks like capitol L under the head. also could be a JL? but j is not seen that much.No eagle head at all... | ||

Ladies head = Swiss case, you probably also see an L C with a tree, which is the LeCoultre hallmark. | ||
