I am mad about the shape of the lugs, on your ref.
I have the same version than yours, dial apart ( applied indexes instead of numbers ).
Another good, excellent catch, Rafal!

Were there any SS Porthole Futurematics from JLC? Or only LeCoultre ?
Futurematic - stainless :)
I always used to have problem with futurematics - on one hand I loved for design and invention on the other I was usually having gold filed versions and gold ones which I wasn't wearing at all.
So finally problem solved - Blomman - you were right- I found mine
And its even better since the case is oversize
And I love it - got it with unpolished case - still original finish, dial is worn but still ok with me - this year I ll decide if I am refinishing this one or rather (I m more for this solution) buying other one and refinishing it in order to go with this watch while keeping the original one Movement ca. 1955 based on # is in very good shape - keeps perfect time, power reserve and hack work as should so at the next trip home I ll taking to my favorite watchmaker
Any how this watch is maybe not perfect (yet) but it makes me very happy

Thank you :) so much :)
Again I hope that I ll be anough lucky to get better dial for it (I mean original one) but even if I do not be so lucky it will get a lot of wrist time and appreciation
Many thanks

Nicolas, thank you for very kind comments - the case had
Surprised me above all expectation – as I have mentioned I had never had this reference before and I am truly amazed by the case finish – satin / brushed and polished at the same time, but the biggest hit for me is screw like finish of crystal ring (chimney) it looks like someone planed a divers bezel in the future.
Many thanks

SS Porthole Futurematic from Jaeger LeCoultre?
Were there any SS Porthole Futurematics from JLC? Or only LeCoultre ?
Wow!
Is that nearly the entire stock of Futrematics produced?
Great family shot.

That is a lovely photo, Chronomtr! :)
Would love to add a port hole in my collection…
And now I understand why there is no one to be found …!!!

amazing set of port hole ones !!!
This set is great !!! Very impressive collection!!
AS for the other question - You are right - thats the one- my watchmaker was able to clean it a bit but still there is a scar below the power reserve dial - thats why I still a but torn apart between leaving this dial as is or sending out for refinishing.
Thank you
