    Hi All,

    Next up for sale is a not often seen reference from LeCoultre (Jaeger LeCoultre for the US market) from the WWII era. It features an uncommon 24-hour two-tone dial, done in a military style with large luminous Arabic markers and original beautifully patinated luminous diamond hands.

    Highlights:
    - Uncommon reference
    - Stainless steel case
    - Beautiful two-tone dial
    - Arabic numerals with lume all present
    - Heat blued diamond shaped hands with lume all present
    - All original dial, hands, case, movement
    - COA performed by my watchmaker this year

    Lowlights:
    - Replaced crown. But, it fits and works well
    - While the caseback is fixed just fine, it rotates in it's groove if you try to rotate it. Hasn't bothered me as it doesn't impact wearability, but I anticipate it to be a small fix if you need to have it addressed.

    More details:
    Year: 1940s
    Dial: Original, two-tone
    Case: Original, good condition, 33.5mm without crown
    Movement: Original, cal 450 manual wind. Winds smoothly and keeps time for a vintage piece.
    Crown: Replacement
    Hands: Original with lume intact
    Strap: Quality deBeers dark olive crocodile leather

    I’m asking $850 USD net to me which will also include 2 day insured shipping within CONUS. Other countries at cost. Paypal, Venmo, Transferwise/bank wire only.

    Watch and I are in the US and I can ship worldwide (with some exceptions). No returns please.

    Plenty of references available upon request. Thanks!
