Cal. 476 (without power reserve) is the base caliber for the 481 (with power reserve). The watch in your link is having the wrong dial for a cal. 481. ;) We just can date watches by movement number, not out of thin air. |

Thank you very much for your answer. I do not know much, do you have an idea of its value (wide range: 100 �, 500 �, 1000 �, 1500�) Is it difficult to change the dial? Sincerely, |

It is difficult to source a dial, especially in nice condition or even new old stock. JLC does not sell spare parts! Prices are between $200 for a gold filled basket case US version up to $3000+ for a large size (37mm) European in solid 18k gold... |

Thank you. This forum is really a great source of information! And do you have an idea of the price of the watch in this condition (range)? Sincerely, |

Too less information to give a reliable estimation, ie. material, size, running, engraved... Maybe $500 on the low side. |
