Watch is 70's production.
The "A" below the case serial stands
for solid 18k (750) gold.

It's actually mid-1960s, case ref #1966. I have this exact watch shown in one of my vintage JLC catalogs. Original price was DM 705.

The reason why I mentioned its ubiquitousness was: don't pay too much for this one. It's not that rare.

Herman - Sadly I'm selling not buying. Even if it is a bit 'common' (for a Jaeger) I still like it a lot!
I did get a bit worried that you saw this EXACT one on ebay...
Anyway, thanks a lot for all your help folks, it is regrettably up for sale now. money going towards credit crunch christmas.
