Rusty?
Some think that a vintage dial is rusty, that it is all about corrosion
Others find some beauty to that.
I belong to this last category, and feel the beauty of time, on these dials, a witness of their life, of the time passing...
Should I add that this lovely P 476 has two interests?
It is the first automatic Calibre from JLC.
I found it in the US, during our IGOTT II...

I think it is worth your consideration to add to your collection
And if you decide to add to your collection, will you get rid of the rust? Best regards, Baxter
In my collection for one year, almost, since I got it at our IGOTT II, past year.
Do I get rid of it? Now way! Best, my friend. Nicolas
Mechanically, and aesthetically, yes.
Mechanically, as it was the first JLC Automatic movement. Aesthetically, because it doesn't need to be much better than that. And as an Extra Bonus, these oldies have so much ...Soul! Best, Nicolas
Actually it is wonderful...
and only achievable through years of use and love....like a good friendship Will you get the movement serviced and the case and face left untouched..? Yours, Andy.
Well the movement works very well, it runs one second too fast per day.
But if I had to service the watch, I will let its dial and case like this... I never touch to a dial, and most of the time I let the case as it is. Best, my friend. Nicolas
very nice...
... it is not very common to see rusty dial... but this one has very beautiful match overall.... stefan
Perhaps the icing on the cake from IGOTT2!
Excellent find Nico. The first JLC auto calibre? This is a must for you; so glad it ended up in your hands!
Yes, this one is from 1948, the movement, P 476, was released in 1946.
And I had it with me during our IGOTT II! Best, my friend. Nicolas.
a beauty!
That's a very nice piece Nico and the bronze dial is beautiful! A very refined piece! If I dare to ask, what's the size as there is no wristshot, just to imagine how it looks on the wrist. Matt
very nice.
Some brands try to reproduce this aged look upon release, which I find a bit ridiculous, but this piece is charming and your photos show that well. First automatic calibre from JLC makes it doubly as enticing. Best,
