Hi, I saw this watch on Ebay but not sure whether it is authentic. Any experts here can share your views?

I googled around and someone said that if it is written ' Jaeger LeCoultre' on the dial, then the movement should not be 'Lecoultre', but same instead. But it is not in the above picture.

Also, does the logo on the dial look like an authentic JLC logo?

So I am really not sure whether it is the real thing.

Hope someone will be able to advise. Thank you.

LeCoultre movements were made for export to the US so the movement and case do not match with the dial. The watch case and movement look to be authentic but the dial looks to be refinished., which makes it look better but lowers the value. I can't be sure whether the dial is refinished without very high res photos and it is best to ask the seller. There are a lot of authentic watches from israel but many of them have had funny modifications done to them, making them fine for personal wear but perhaps less suitable for collecting and future sale.
