Double check the movement serial #, I think you are missing a digit. |

OK, thanks. It is missing the sweep seconds hand. This appears to be a "uniplan" model, the dial appears to have been restored at some point. Value of the head, perhaps around $1200 as it is. Maybe more, hard to tell what kind of discount given the 2 issues I have pointed out. |

Would it be possible to repair the second hand? Also what are the markings on the inside of the case back there are some stamps and some scratched series of numbers? Any significance? The other question I have I'd about the band. I haven't seen a gold band like that on any other JLC' s pictured on the site. Is it original or did my grandfather have it made? |
