just to add , i`m not 100% sure is it p 478/c or it is 476/c, i cannot see it clear  but its more likely to be 478 because 476 should be automatic? And there are some writings like p = 10 - 88 carved from inside. | ||

It would be a 478 and as you pointed out a 476 is automatic. Movement dates to approx 1949-1950. | ||

Is the dial washed out like that? | ||

well, its not in a perfect shape, but my camera is from a mobile phone,its bad. and i can restore glass and dials for 50e, in one respectable antique watch shop! but they dont whan`t to tell me price for whole watch. One other store offered me 200e for only gold from watch.. | ||

What is the case diameter? Without the crown. | ||
| Markonajce New member Username: Markonajce Post Number: 7 Registered: 11-2010 Rating: N/A |
i measured it now, its 34 mm without, and 35 with upper part(with glass) | ||
| Markonajce New member Username: Markonajce Post Number: 8 Registered: 11-2010 Rating: N/A |
And strange thing is that there are no Jlc markings between dials, and it doesn`t seem like they where ever there in the first place | ||

I think as it is, it is worth around $500-600. 200 Euro is too low and may even be less than the gold. | ||

Aha, thanks for the answer Zaf! I will then repair glass,polish it, and keep it for myself. The longer i have it, the more i like it! |
