Jaeger-LeCoultre

I thought I’d take a moment and share my 1944 JLC recently back from service. ...  

Keep Taking care of it . It`s a rare piece of history .Is it gold plated ? I can see traces of yellow on the lugs .

Glad you like, it’s a chrome plated case, so that’s the brass you see coming through. No gold on this one

I can take one, but it’s a 159 with base metal case, not an E159 since it doesn’t have the screw-in case back, just a snap in.

...  

Indeed, that is quite a bit more special!

Thanks for preserving this piece of history! Must be an honor to wear this one!

For being nearly 75 years old, it’s extremely clean inside.
