Jaeger-LeCoultre

First endeavour into older pieces

 

Dear all,

 

I have been lurking around this forum for a long time. Never posting myself, but reading a lot of interesting stories about new and old pieces and occasionally responding. Owning a Reverso GT for 8 years already, I finally made my first step into an older watch; 1940/45 I think. It is a steel watch case housing a calibre 463 with black dial, lugs 16mm,  size is 31-38 mm. A real nice small watch.

On the internet you read often it is a WW2 watch, but I do not think so. The model isn't nor has been military at all, at least as far as I can trace it. Mine for sure isn't as it lacks any markings.

 

I just fell for the simplicity of the dial.

 

If any of you guys knows more background on the watch, you are welcome to educate me.

In the mean time I am happy with my a little addition and will try different looks when testing straps.

Maybe NATO or a black rally type, though that might be hard to find given the size.

I am open to suggestions.

 

Robert
