Think my heart may be ruling my head here! I really like the look of this stainless steel JLC but for $2000 would like some reassurance re its authenticity and value. It seems to be in remarkable condition.
Grateful for any help.

I admired it as well --

It appears a redial -- among other things, the seconds register is off center in its recess -- and its condition is 'too good'.

This model - with an aged, original black dial - did sell for around $2k in auction recently...

Here is an a little more ancient model... 1930?

I've been looking for that very movement - Cal 11, center sweep.

Many thanks. Lots of similarities with Fanny1104's watch. Dial looks took too clean but movement etc look authentic. Any other thoughts on value? Would a redial greatly affect value?
Thanks

$2000 sounds like a lot of money to me, for that watch. They're on the small side, almost a ladies size by today's standards. Make sure you are familiar with the size, so not to be surprised.

Thanks Zaf at 36mm x 22mm unfortunately I think you're probably right.
