Watch looks okay to me.

I was Googling on how to spot fake JLC watch and someone wrote that if the dial is written 'JAEGER LECOULTRE', then the movement should be the same. But it is written 'LECOULTRE' on this one.

Also, I saw in one other forum images of this watch Ref 2285, exactly the same but with 'JAEGER LECOULTRE' written on the movement.

Hence, I suspect maybe it is not the original movement.

I am no expert in this brand but it's an old watch by its styling and i think it looks ok

Watches sold in the North American market were sold under the 'LeCoultre' name from 1932 to 1985. After 1985, the Jaeger-LeCoultre name was adopted worldwide. It has been Jaeger-LeCoultre since 1937, regardless of the name printed on the dial or movement. I would not use this as a method to spot counterfeit Jaeger-LeCoultre / LeCoultre watches.
