Not sure if my last post uploaded.

I have a JLC Automatic memovox with a 1.7m serial number; I was wondering what year it would be from (1966?)

Also, it would need light restoration for the luminous dots - where can this be done, and for how much.

What sort of premium does the 'parking' (which I'm not sure is such a lovely feature) add.

Why does the case (inside) list the brand as LeCoultre (in the American company motif) when the dial and movement are both marked JLC - and is this still regarded as triple-signed?

Many thanks

Also, the crowns - or at least one of them - are clearly replaced (and different sizes): what size (tap 10 and 2mm?) should they be, and will this be the same for both.

Should they bear the JL logo (neither do)?

The dial is worn, and I think is original - does champagne for the centre and an offwhite/eggshell for the outer dial make sense as a colour scheme?
