Hello,

Spring cleaning continues and next in line is this charming vintage JLC. I picked this up a while back primarily due to its original condition, the large sub-dial and of course the beautiful patina. At the time, I remember having a quick chat with Zaf Basha (someone who knows these watches extremely well) and he believed the watch was original and in good condition as well.

As an aside, this is my first watch that is 32mm or smaller and honestly I am pleasantly surprised by how big it wears despite the size. For reference, my wrist is 6.75in.

Some quick details:

Year: 1947
Movement: Original, Calibre 469A manual wind
Case: Original, stainless steel, 32mm without crown, 33mm with crown
Crown: Original
Dial: Original
Hands: Original
Strap: Aftermarket, leather
Service history: Unknown. Winds smoothly and keeps good time.

And now for some pictures (have borrowed a couple from the previous seller):



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

I'm asking $799USD insured and shipped to CONUS. Other countries add shipping cost. Payment by bank transfer or PayPal (friends and family).

References available.

Thanks!
