Hi,

Some sources say that the dial on the left size of this photo is a legitimate style seen on RAF JLC Mk.VIIA Weems watches. Zaf, I was wondering if you agree with this? Or, was this one only seen on USAAF watches?



Thanks!

Well, at least nobody can definitively say that a flat crystal with beveled edges is wrong.

If you believe your case has its original crystal (and, being NOS, why wouldn't it?) then I guess flat plastic with beveled edges is what I need.

Thanks for your help, Zaf!

Hi, I'm trying to track down a replacement crystal for a JLC Weems watch. Ideally, it would be as similar to the original as possible, but I'm not completely sure what exactly the original crystal looked like. I think the one on the watch in this photo may be correct - would you agree? http://i1131....

Thanks, Ilja. So, then, no stainless steel bezels?

Thank you, Zaf!

Hi,

I've heard it said that Royal Air Force JLC Mk.VIIA Weems watches had chrome-plated brass rotating bezels, and that the equivalent LeCoultre Weems watches in USAAF service had stainless steel rotating bezels. Just wondering, is this information correct?

Thanks!

Thank you, Zaf!

Hi,

I was wondering, what year would a JLC Cal.450 movement with a 115XXX serial have been produced? 1938, 1939?

Also, in what year was the Cal.450 introduced?

Thanks!

Dave

Okay, Zaf, thanks for your thoughts.
