路Hey guys just got this JLC from the german equivalent of craigslist for 290 Euros
I suppose its a 40's military style JLC - if original.
Im not too sure about the hands. I think the lume is missing. I wonder if this is a big issue for the price?
i am also wondering if there is a chance to get "new" old radium hands?
Thank you for your insights
all the best from snowy munich
Been lucky enough to own and sell quite a few of these whilst rotating pieces in my collection. It is indeed a p478. Worn towards the end of WWII, but also had a few iterations of it made. My favorite was the p478c rose gold version made specifically for the French Market. At the price you got it, I'd say you got a steal. Definitely would trade towards the 500-600 euro area at worst, and higher in better condition. It definitely has gotten relumed at some point (not so well, i must add), because the older JLC luming jobs werent very blotchy like your dial shows - but one service and a reluming should get it back to perfection. Honestly great find and super good deal 馃榿
