Hi all

Can anybody help me with some info on this watch, moment number 337328, no number on the case, diameter 36 mm:

JLC_18K_337328

I am especially interested in knowing whether case, dial and movement belong to each other from the beginning and in any indications on the value of the watch, that seems to be in very good condition.

Thanks in advance and regards from Switzerland
Martin

Hello Martin. I'd look for something else, the case does not appear to be a Swiss made JLC case to me.

Hi all

I've quickly contacted JLC; they confirmed the movement as cal 449 dating from 1945 but couldn't (or would not like to) comment on the rest of the watch without an inspection on the real thing.

Any other suggestions or hints?

Thanks and regards
Martin

Yes, keep your hands off. Except it is
priced as a bargain. ;)
