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.
