that crown does not appear to be correct!


Seems odd, of course, given the condition of the watch, but I am skeptical of originality.

Best regards,

Jaeger Lecoultre Vintage Cal 812 from the late 50's. A sublime beauty under the radar.

I wonder how I could miss that one. The fundamentals of a superb watch, class, elegant, timeless. Credit picture: Uhrentick. Inside is beating the Cal 812 you can find in the Mystery, like pictured below. Screw in case back, 34 mm steel case. A true time ...  

Superb and no date ! [nt]

I would also suspect polished case, cleaned and relumed dial. Possible incorrect hands or at least relumed… Best Blomman ...  

Please, look at all the other watches of that site...

All have very clean dials, almost too clean, perfect lume… All of them. Also, look at the case back picture of this watch... Someone went with the diamond paper over that one very recently. Best Blomman

Beautiful reference my dear friend

I assume you’re on the hunt now? I would ask if you can get one for me too! Best. René

that dial IMHO challenges the famous Calatrava !
