Hello everybody!
I started collecting JLC last year and could learn a lot from your discussion-board till now.
Does anybody know the caliber no. of the LC movement? Is it originally manufactured by JLC or Girard Perregaux?
Regards,

It is not a caliber I have ever seen in a LeCoultre product US market or otherwise. Seems very suspect to me.

It is difficult to say what parts, if any, are LeCoultre. The case doesn't follow the stamping I'd expect from an 18k Swiss JLC case or an 18k USA case. Looks like the entire watch is a re-badge of something inferior to begin with.
