It has Jaeger-LeCoultre marked in a small font under the 12 on the front of the watch, but it seems to be a different style of font than the current logo now with the line underneath. It is like a script font. I'm wondering if it is an older font. The watch has only a serial number marking on the back--431725. It has a black face with gold numbers. Can anyone help me identify it? Is it worth getting fixed up and giving to my son? Thank you Thank you.   Zaf Moderator Username: Zaf Post Number: 5650 Registered: 05-2003 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 (Vote!)
