Hello
I wonder if any member can help. I can been given an opportunity to buy a vintage JLC by a friend of a friend. I have been asked to 'make an offer'.
I understand it was purchased by the owners father just after the war.
Hallmark 9ct.
34mm.
No service record.
| hope the photos show.
Any advice would be appreciated.

In order to provide a reasonable appraisal, we will need at least 3 of the following:
1) A picture of your watch. This is done using the "upload" feature.
2) Model number if known.
3) The case material, Silver, Steel or Gold, etc.
4) Case diameter & overall condition.
Due to the demands placed on my mailbox, I do not answer such inquires by direct mail. You must post your question here. Direct eMails regarding appraisals will be deleted and not answered.
Please note: Almost ALL the small ladies "cocktail" watches of brands such as Bulova, Gruen, Hamilton, etc., with gold trading at record prices are trading at or near scrap.

Is it missing the sweep seconds?
Also has the dial been repainted?

No second hand. I assumed this was the design.
Dial hasn't been repainted as far as I am aware and can tell.

It's missing the sweep for sure, the movement you are showing is one that has a sweep second.

Many thanks. I think I might pass on this one!
