I have a JLC watch. Thats about the depth of my knowledge on the subject I'm afraid.
On the back there is the following
A.M.
6B/159
4391/56
It is a steel case and the face is very ordinary, with numbers. There is no date window.
Hopefully someone can tell me a little more about it.
Sorry its not much to go on, but if you need to know more, I would appreciate it if you could let me know what I need to look for.
Thanks in advance
Matt

Do you have a picture? If it is legitimate, from the marking it would be a 1956 British RAF watch. The problem is that there is some controversy as to whether or not such an animal exists. If anything, it would be a recase of a WWII era 6B/159 JLC, so I suspect the case is not a JLC case, just the movment and dial.

In any event a pic speaks volumes.
