A question about the E159 and the 2982B
Greetings everyone,
What is the difference between the 2982B and the E159? To my eye they look very similar and in most cases I see a cal 478 movement. Is it case size? I’ve read just about every thread on the SHOM and military issues 2982s and can’t pin it down.
Another quick question, a 35xxxxx serial would date from around 1943?
Thanks, I really look forward to your replies because I really researched this and couldn’t come up with a definitive answer.
Best regards,
Joe

The problem is that there is almost nothing posted on the net about the SHOM 159 and the 2982B.
I wrote a review on the SHOM, which is here: Please give us your movement number, it will be a more accurate way to date your watch. The SHOM houses the Cal 478. And it seems it is the 479 ( also housed in the WWW JLC British military watch ) for the 298...
Movements...
478: 479: The 478 has a central seconds, the 479 has a small seconds. Best, Nicolas ...
Thank you!
This is what I was looking for, thanks! The movement with the 35xxxxx serial is a p478 so the watch must be a 159, snap in case back. Other than print books, are there any online references for JLC serial numbers ?
