Thanks to Zaf (and all) for this wonderful resource! This LeCoultre chrono with a Val 72 has a neat (slightly larger) subdial design at 3 o'clock that I've not seen before. It's claimed to be a 1960's watch, stainless case and the screw-on back is stamped "Le Coultre Co. _ Swiss" inside and serial 8829xx. Has anyone seen anything like this before? Any ideas on period or on authenticity would be appreciated!  | ||

I doubt it is real. A movement shot would confirm that. | ||

Here's a movement shot; very interested in your opinion Zaf!  | ||

Also case back - sorry that I can't manage to place multiple images in a single post.  | ||

It is a fake. | ||

Zaf, for our edification, what are the principal indicators that this watch is not genuine? Thanks! | ||

To my knowledge this model was never made, it never appears in any of the USA catalogs and the movement was never signed like this with "LeCoultre" on a curve other than on this and other "Aviator Style" fakes that all came out Germany at once about 10 years ago.
