Mystery JLC Art Deco

What can people tell me about this? It’s 18k, manual wound, crown on back. Dealer states it dates to 1928. Priced at 3250 EURO.

For the record, I’m suspicious it’s a redial.

Short answer: Nothing.

Redial and not worth anything near the asking price.

Thanks all for your input! To clarify, this was something someone I know was looking at, and I was wary hence the post.

My 2c: I think it's hard to be sure either way - and I think, to be honest, unless people here are literally watch historians working for the relevant brands, there's not much any of us know about definitive originality of obscure watches from the 1920s and 1930s. At least with not obviously terribly printed dials, I don't think we could say definitively this watch here is definitely a redial, particularly with a single blurry photo.

That being said, my opinion would be that unless you have evidence that it isn't a redial, anything that old (i.e. unless you're basically buying it from the original owner), is probably safer to assume they're all redials.

For Example, below is a watch sold by a leading watch auction house that was apparently from the original owner, and so is verified as being all original (according to the owner anyway). This is a watch from the early 1930s. I feel like however if it was in slightly better condition, if you posted it here many people would say 'thats a redial'.

haha I agree. it sounds like you agree with my sentiment then!
