Jaeger-LeCoultre

I’ve been looking for the right one of these for years. Better photos later And yes, I already have the original crown. And if this doesn’t get Nicholas to comment, I don’t know what will LOL. ...  

These were produced as prizes for first place winners. I cannot tell you how many individual winners (25?,75?) but the watch was not sold to the public. Calibre P478/C 37mm Steel Case.

same movement as the Geophysic

Speaking of Nicholas, I may be late to the party but where has he been lately?

I've been told he's fine.

I do have the correct crown in hand so I can fix that issue. Everything else is good and I did get a better price as I made sure to point that out to the seller.

Reserved for a small group of psychopathic collectors.

you are unlikely to see another one any time soon.

I've seen 2 others in the last 20 years. One was a redial, and heavily polished. The other was decent but had a rather odd patina around 6-9 which I think was a water issue. This is the most honest example of the Three.

And it’s the same base movement as the geophysic. How cool is that.

Very very cool. Congrats on this spectacular find !!!
