Certainly one of my favourite watch, among the vintage JLC miitary.

A case with a lot of character, a wonderful dial, and a superb movement, exlusively dedicated to this watch ( Cal 479 ) :













And the movement... I would really like to see something like that in our modern JLCs, wouldn't you?

Among them, the WWW and the Mark XI are my favourites, but I can't resist to the appeal of a Weems or a Mark 7 A. Step by step, you will end with all of them, I know that. Taking breaths? Who said that? Best, my dear friend. Nicolas.
