Hello,

Can anyone help identify the following watch (see photo)?
It has a date - 4.7.1939 - engraved on it, the casing is stainless steel, and only 'Jaeger-LeCoultre' is printed on the face.

The glass is chipped in the corner, but in all other respects is in good working order.

I'd like to know the exact model (I've had a good look on the internet, but nothing seems to match what I have), and estimate value (once repaired).

Any info much appreciated!

It is a vintage Reverso, those had different reference numbers depending on quality of movement finish and crystal type.
Since it is engraved with a date it may have been produce one or two years before in maximum.

An engraving usually reduces the value. Restored it would be worth around $2000, but hard to tell without seeing the engraving.

Hi,
If you do choose to sell, would you let me know? I have a black dial steel 30's JLC DuoPlan and this Black dial reverso would be a great partner to it!
Regards
Craig.
P.S. I dont mind if it still has the crack and engraving, it adds to the watches history.

Thanks Ilja!

Hi Craig, the watch is currently being valued, and yes, it is potentially up for sale. If you drop me an email ([email protected]), we can take it from there!

Thanks,
Jay
