Looks odd with an austere minimalist movement. In addition, it appears the missing dog screws to secure the movement to the case are not only missing, but there is no place for them to mount. What you all think? Thanks.

 

Appears to be a common Peseux movement of some type. Something like this one:

Thanks Dan S. So that would mean this is not a fake but one of the LeCoultre's with an outsourced movement ? Also, would that lower the value?

 

Peseux 320/325 with a missing bridge screw (near the click). The dial and movement may be held by the caseback and only need dial feet to keep the dial correctly aligned.

Do you have any shots of the caseback?

And if that's a genuine JLC I'd be surprised.

 

Fake, horribly made up dial, absolutely not a JLC movement, just a generic with the name printed on it. Likely no markings on the case, if there are they are fake and simply added on.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. As mentioned by @JimInOz and @X350 XJR, the presence of the Peseux movement means that it is not an authentic JLC watch.

 

Take a quick look at the sellers other offerings, all horrible fakes. As a matter of fact I've reported a number of their offerings over the last several months and the Argentinians simply turn a blind eye.

 

Thanks X350. Good learning case for me.

 

You're doing it right by asking questions before jumping in.

 

Agreed. It's so much nicer to be able to warn a potential buyer instead of giving someone the bad news after a purchase.

 

JLC only ever outsourced movements at one point in their history with some of the JLC club models in the late 60's early 70's. I got caught out by this a while back and was lucky to get out of it financially unscathed. I'd say this was an older and on the face of it a slightly more convincing fake from the 70's.... until you pop the back open...With the exception mentioned you'll always see a top notch quality movement with beveled movement edges and hopefully (still) polished screw heads..

 

Yes thats a sneaky fake that is!
