·Hello all,
Back on the market. Description amended with scans of the actual movement.
My 34mm LeCoultre has been sitting in a watch box. My wife never wears it as she finds it too big. Since we are looking to buy so property, she decided to let it go to fund our project
My research hasn't yielded much about this watch other than it's the very first automatic movement by Jaeger-LeCoultre. The 353xxx serial number suggests late 40s, early 50s. It can't say for sure as there is no database available. I've checked comparable case designs and serial numbers to guesstimate the approximate production period.
Here's the details:
Movement: LeCoultre (SS Bumper Automatic) - (LeCoultre, VXN) 17 jewel calibre 476 (12A) bumper automatic movement. I've managed to get pics of the actual movement.
I had it serviced in 2014 by Shane Ede in Toronto.
Dial: I'll call it an early redial. Very nicely done in any case. Lume glows after exposure to light then fades so I suspect à tritium redial.
Crown: Seems to be the original unsigned crown based on my research
Case: 34 mm without the crown. Excellent and very sharp stainless steel case and snap back, serial 353xxx
Full refund if misrepresented in any way.
Plenty of worldwide references here (Faz), TimeZone (fazmaster), 100% positives on the bay (archfaz) and more. Feel free to inquire.
USD $329.00 OBRO shipped to Canada or the CONUS. International shipping at cost. Can be shipped from within the USA as I travel there on a weekly basis.
