Jaeger-LeCoultre

I have seen it w while ago and since then it was bugging me and after couple of months it finally made it to my small JLC family  so its a highest time for small photo story
In my opinion its from early 70's
as for size is 28 mm by 23mm and ca, 44 to lugs

Actually since this month I got my first roadster I feel really complete

My very best and again apologies for a long absence here...

Congratulations!

My very best Rafal

Welll, it won't be difficult, as my knowledge on this one is close to zero.

Actually, I like a lot what I'm seeing, this kind of Etrier.

Are you sure it is made in the 70ies?

And, my friend, if you want ot make us very happy,  may you take a picture of the watch WITH the roaster?

I guess you got something Vintage, if you associated the watch with the car?

Always a pleasure to read you here, Rafal.

Come back soon!

Nicolas.

and it has strong retro styling but its not really vintage - since I love driving it there is pretty big chance it will become vintage with me but that was my budget porsche

Thank you for nice words and I ll provide some car/ watch pictures this weekend

The only one which I have found with this exact reference was from early 70 ties - based on paperwork date
My came without any paper work but I am assuming its same time period.
Unfortunately the 818 in this one does not have serial on the back - maybe under the dial but since its lubricated and clean and mean is 0- 1 s per 24h I didn't went further then I have shown on the pictures is hard to say
I ll presumably e-mail the jlc about it soon and add their answer to this dicussion
Thank you again 


My very best and its good to be back

Rafal
 

…models with this kind of lugs.

 

But never on a man’s watch.

 

Very interesting.

 

You have checked movement number to tell age?

 

The Ref 9041.42 – the addition .42 I have seen on late E 875 from mid 70ties.

 

Any connection?

 

Very interesting watch, do you have a wrist shot to show how it sits on the wrist?

 

Good to have you back, thank you for sharing!

 

 

Best

I am dating base on other watch with same ref, and style which was supported by original documentation,
the movement form case back site does nit have serial but the dial jlc and movement lc markings match this watch I have based my dating on.
Also I ll try soon to upload original band and buckle - it was too "elegant" for me and I have replace it for wearing purposes but in my opinion its late 60ties or early 70 ties band

As for the wrist shot I d love to but you will have to wait till a weekend - I need good day light for black dial and curved plexi - and weekends recently are only time when I am home during day light

Again many thanks

My very best

Rafal

... it looks very special design... congrats... the condition of this watch looks superb as well.

thanks for sharing.
