Happy Sunday, OF! Does anybody see anything wrong with this JLC Cal. K480? It's a gold-filled model, I've always had a soft spot for the 12, 3, 6, 9 dials of the Glasshute Senator 60s which this reminds me of (seller's photos, not mine).

 

Looks Ok to me.

 

Thanks for your opinion @Tony C. The seller recently serviced the movement in-house too which is why it looks pretty clean for a nearly 70 year old watch!

 

You're welcome, and yes, it does appear to be very clean.

 

Very nice.

 

Thanks guys. Just realized the watch is only 33mm but with 18mm lugs (seller advertised as 34.5mm with crown and I misread the description).

Good thing my wrist is only about 6-6.25 inches...

 

Lugs like that it will wear bigger than it measures

 

Looks good. I even thought at first "maybe too good" for a dial of this age, but the whole watch seems very well preserved.

Can I ask you the price they ask?

Surprisingly, these American snap cases seem to preserve rather well the movement. It is not the first time I see such a well preserved Lecoultre movement in those cases. Maybe it is because they were rather expansive and supposed to be dress watches. So people would take care of them. Maybe these cases offer a better protection than the regular snap cases - I doubt that though.
