There is a vintage military watch site that has a movement like mine (see photo) down as JLC. I'd like to hear from the knowlegdeable forumers whether this could be confirmed. Thank you in advance. http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa204/watch-in-you/vintage_movt001.jpg | ||

Why do you think this is a JLC movement? It looks generic Swiss to me. | ||

Hello Zaf. There is a vintage military watch site with some of the very early ones and whoever has made that site has a precisely similar movement listed as JLC. The finish on this movement is very good. Also, JLC like many other companies made quite a few calibers in those days that would not be so easily recognisable as theirs. www.vintagemilitarywatches.com Check it out | ||

Is this an "A. LeCoultre" movement? If so, the factory does not acknowledge them as LeCoultre from Le Sentier. I've seen them stamped A. LeCoultre, A. LeCoultre - Blancpain and even A. LeCoultre - Mathey. Even if they are a LeCoultre product, in general, they're lower budget and poorer construction then movements marked LeCoultre or Jaeger-LeCoultre. Most of the A. LeCoultre watches I have seen have been for the US market, so calling it a "Jaeger-LeCoultre" product is a bit of a stretch. |
