Check that it has a gilt dial like the one I posted. With white writings, it is a service dial... Less charming, in my opinion.
White writings don't always mean services dial
There were 'native' non-gilt black dials. I believe the second batch was all white writings. and consequently, the few leftover dials used later for service were of this lot too (white writings).
But having a white writings does not mean this was a service dial. The serial number should give the indication on how it is supposed to be originally.
That being said, the gilt one indeed looks fabulous.

Very nice E855!
One of the most collectable vintage JLC models!
Haven't personally owned a black dial yet, but maybe one day!
Thank you! Going to be difficult to let it go, so I think I'll just stay happy and keep it!
Yes! Although I might personally prefer the silver ones for wearing.
Finding a nice black dial is exceptionally hard. I haven't had much success, but am always optimistic.
I quite like the gilt font against the black.
