Hi Zaf, I heard that You have very best information about vintage JLC watches. I have a problem: my ref. 876 have Jaeger LeCoultre signed dial and crowns, but LeCoultre signed movement (rotor) and case. Is this a genuine watch or a "frankenwatch"? Best, IKH        | ||

On a watch like that, I would expect JLC on the rotor and leCoultre on the case back. | ||

Thank you for your answer. I searched the internet and found many similar cases. At the watchprosite-forum Clavi told me that he had the same experience. Clavi: "The Lecoultre-signed rotor is not an unusual feature in these late / cal 916 memovoxes. I have seen several examples of not-questionable memovoxes in the ref 871, 872, 875 and 876 that were signed Jaeger LeCoultre on the dial and LeCOultre on the rotor. It seems that during these years (when watches actually signed Jaeger LeCOultre started to be sold again under this full name in the US) there has been bothe JLC and LC - signed rotors. With regards to caseback, it is also the norm that it is signed LeCoultre, even for the non-US versions." This is the first JLC with this kind of signatures. All other have been JLC/JLC and LCoultre/LeCoultre. Your forum is very informative. I will be reading it carefully. | ||
