Jaeger-LeCoultre E159 non-SHOM screw down caseback - what's the story?
May 22, 2019,05:27 AM
JLC E159 has been one of my favourite vintage watches since I saw one a few years ago here. Since then I've bought a sold a few until I found one a good condition where both the dial and the case were well-preserved. Here are some shots.
However, I couldn't resist the temptation to buy another one when I saw this little guy pop up for sale. It's a E159 with a screw down casebock but no SHOM or MN engravings. The dial has "Fabrique en Suisse" under Jaeger-LeCoultre which none of the other 159s I've owned had. Could you shed any light on this little deviation? I can't seem to find any info on this particular combo.
