    Guys, does this look authentic? It's on ebay and I like it but not sure if the dial is the real deal. I know nothing about Jaeger watches[​IMG]

    I've seen that same bad face on a Longines "military" watch...

    it was worth its weight in parakeet droppings. I'd bet this is the same.

    Are there military type markings on the back? I'd bet there's a "MIL" specification on the back that predates a full rotor automatic movement

    Fake. There is an article somewhere regarding the Vietnam era military watches.

    Thanks guys, I thought it was too good to be true[​IMG]
    Hi Jim[​IMG]
    Just found an article about them here http://goldsmithtraining.com/automatic-military-seals-vietnam-diver/ apparently the A7 movement was in a pre war pocket watch style case by Longines!

    Looks like an eta movement though.
