What is the likelihood that a 66 year old dial could still be looking so spiffy and in original condition? A closer look at better pictures/angles could shed more light....but regardless, is a nice looking dial!
Can't tell from those pictures, but there are several redialers with the underlined JaegerLeCoultre die so it's probably a refinished dial. Got one like that myself that JLC redid from stem to stern.
I can't tell anything from the picture you provided. Need close-ups. Movement looks to be in excellent condition, a very good sign. Sorry, gatorcpa
Hi, Gatorcpa, here is the link to zoom in. It seems like a decent price, anyway http://www.benl.ebay.be/itm/251432459128?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2648Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
I'd say a redial based on the 'E's in the Name. I expect you would have to go to JLC to get a redial as good as Dennis'.
I think it is a top quality redial. I don't see a "Swiss" or "Swiss Made" at the bottom of the dial, although it could be hidden in the photos. gatorcpa
The owner claims no redial, says it has always been in the family and there are a few tiny spots on the dial. Still, remarkable for such an old watch. Thanks for the replies, guys
I just looked at mine (one from mid-1950's and one from around 1960) and the logos are slightly different. Both are 100% original dials with some patina. The lettering on the later one is just a tiny bit narrower and taller. Offset on the "E" bars is different also. It's hard to base judgement just on that one element. It may have something to do the contractor that made the dials. gatorcpa
