It is a fake, sorry. The case is definitely not genuine as is the dial (most likely). What caliber movment is in there?

Zaf- There is one currently on ebay with the same looking movement. The case is different.

I looked again and the bridges are indeed 4 instead of three. The outer bridge edges are also cut on a slant. 494 cal. The ebay one matches your description of an authentic movement.

That would be the correct movement for that watch, though this example has a poor refinished dial. The original dial is nothing short of breathtaking.

Hello Zaf, hello all,

thank you for your quick response. The caliber number of the movement is 424017. Are you sure that the JLC is a fake? Or is it maybe a very rare JLC?

Best regards,

Alexander

What you have given me is the serial number not the caliber number. I'm certain that watch is a fake.
