Jaeger Chronographs need a personal examination to be sure they are original.
A lot of put-together stuff has been on the market lately.
Lume seems to be renewed.
Please note, the seller has a ZERO feedback and tries to sell a CHF 800+ item. I advice everybody to be extra careful and to keep the risk in mind.

To me is looks genuine. However, these are quasi identical to watches made by Universal Geneve (in fact I suspect these were in fact made by UG) this one has a UG caliber movement in it. So what you need to be on the look out for is a) An original Jaeger Dial b) make sure the engraving on the movement is also Jaeger and doesn't look doctored.

Values of these watches will alwasy stay limted given that they're basically Universal Geneve watches, both case & movement.
