Item # 300005715630 on ebay, is it an authentic JLC? I couldn't find any info on this model on the web. I don't even know the name of this model.
The seller said it use calibre 900, what other JLC model use this calibre? And how much this watch is worth?
Thanks for your help!

yes, the watch is legitimate (though a bit unusual)

see this thread on this very forum for a similar one

Because I tend to follow most of JLC watches offered for sale on eBay, and I have very seldomely seen this one.
Likely reason is that it has been made at a time (late 70's) where expensive, mechanical watches were not successful at all (across all the swiss industry, not only JLC), and therefore, the quantities produced have been rather low, so we don't see many of them these days.

I guess unusual was not the right word. uncommon might be better

oic, is there a name for this model? This watch is quite thin for an automatic, is it safe to say this is the thinnest auto watch JLC made? (since the master thin nowadays is manuel movement...)

Thanks again.

I would say this watch is worth 600-700$ at the most, since it's a recent model which has a relatively low collectible value.
