I have found an old reverso which looks like late 30's, early 40's but I would like to get a more precise date if possible.
I would be very grateful if you could help me with that one.
It is a typical reverso but with the hand for seconds at the center of the dial (not in a small subdial at 6 hours).
The reference number on the case is 86634
The reference number on movement is 3414760 (or 341476, I wrote it when I got it opened by a, but couldn't read my handwriting to well anymore). The movement is signed Jaeger-Lecoultre.

Thanks a lot for your help !!!

It dates to appox 1945 though the case # appears rather low for that movement serial #.

Thanks a lot !
Would that mean that the case and movement may not be meant to be in the same watch?

Would you have an idea of the value of such watch?

Thanks again !

Usually there isn't that much of a difference between the case and the movement #s. Hard to price such a watch without seeing the particulars of the condition and if there is infact a movement/case mismatch.
