Wondering what anyone knows about these watches- triple date moonphases produced in a run of 600 to celebrate JLC's 150th birthday, 1983-ish. Apparently they are powered by vintage 17j caliber 486 movements from 1949. Where would these movements have come from, and would they be new old stock, or salvaged from 1949 watches? | ||

The movements would have been NOS, most likely the parts where, they just needed to be assembled. | ||

I wonder if GregB or anyone else has info on the retail price of this anniversary watch when new in 1984 or so? | ||

1984 is a bit past my period of interest. I tend to focus on LeCoultre watches made pre-1975. |
