Classicwatch Vintage Watches

Hello,

I'm a new member on the forum - thanks for having me.

I'm seriously considering this JLC and wanted your thoughts on its originality and opinion on its appraisal.

Info from seller:
- dial, hands and movement are all original
- movement is the manual Calibre P469A
- the watch is in 31mm size which I find surprising as I usually see these watches between 33-34mm

I have a couple more pics of the crown and the case if that helps.

Thanks for your time and help.

Looks good to me, watches that are smaller, even when fairly nice like this one, struggle to go over $600-700.

It might be a French market watch.

Thanks for your input. You are spot on as this watch is indeed listed by a French seller at around $720USD. I'm still contemplating whether it's too small.
- What would similar watches in 33-34mm size go for? $900-$1000?
- Also, here's another watch (images attached) I'm considering - German Military Issue, 31mm, Manual wind JLC calibre 463, untouched case, dial and hands. Listed online by a UK dealer for 800pounds. Thoughts on condition and appraisal please?

Thanks again.

I think long term you will be happier with 100% stainless steel cases, the German issue has never been proven on that model and it's a chrome plated top. It might be replated as well.
