Jumbo Memovox

Hi...This has been listed on ebay twice and I'm wondering if everything looks OK. To me it looks like it is in great condition. https://www.ebay.com/itm/JUMBO-AUTOMATIC-MEMOVOX-EUROPEAN-JAEGER-LECOULTRE-SIGNATURE-MINT-DIAL-STEEL-K815/282708142343?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1431....

Re: caseback number and letter

There is no pitting and the lugs are sharp. I think the case is SS. The L is rare and a bit of a mystery. I have trouble understanding why someone would mark it L. It does seem somewhat faint but I think that's due to the way I took the picture and some of the examples I have that have B are fainter...

caseback number and letter

Apologies in advance if this has come up already. What is the significance of the number and the letter that is on the caseback? I've noticed this mainly on vintage 1940s 469s/478s. Most of the time there is no letter, but if a letter I've seen "B" and "L" most often. Any help appreciated thank you ...

Re: Vintage jaeger military?

Hi Zaf - Here is another one very similar so I've decided to add it to the same thread! The hands and especially the case look suspicious. Am I getting better at spotting a phony?

Re: Legit 469/A?

Thank you! I did not end up purchasing but it sold for $725. It seemed to have a SS case and caseback.

Re: Help dating this JLC

I've been shopping for this cal and it seems like most are early 1940s. I'm sure zaf can confirm and provide a more accurate dating.
