Not Zaf speaking, but I believe this one is one of the very very few, IMHO all authentic world time.

None of the outer and inner dials look like they could have been refinished at some point, they look all original (as does the rest of the watch), and this hand-wound memovox reference is known to have been one (if not the only) European references which had WT variations (as well as parking versions).

So, I would vote for a rare, all original WT !

Looks good to me. It's case reference is 3160. A fairly rare watch. I only have a parking alarm in stainless steel which is much more common. Production figures in upcoming book.

I have yet to formally confirm if JLC ever made an automatic world time watch! Hard to tell as in above comment if dial has been redone, though a close personal examination should easily clear up the issue. It looks OK to me. Is the inside case stamped with a reference 3160 or 3161?

Good find.

Zaf,
the inside case doesn't have a reference number. Do you still think the watch is genuine?
