Re: Wrist Alarm / Memovox

I can date the watch via the MOVEMENT serial number. It is not a 1970s watch and the dial has been redone to make it look like a Euopean model, which it isn't. This is a USA market watch, probably late 1950s.

Re: Le Coultre cal814: please help

Check the apparisal corner, there is a similar watch being discussed there. If you didn't find a ref yet on the vase back, it doesn't have one.

Re: Le Coultre Wrist Alarm

For USA market watches you're in the right ball park. The gold ones are usually 14k in the US though.

Re: Help identify this Jaeger-LeCoultre Ladies watch please.

If it's a back set watch, and you've never done it, best to leave it to a pro. If it has a case back #, that may give us a rough idea of age. Looks like a 1960s piece.

Re: Help identify this Jaeger-LeCoultre Ladies watch please.

Not sure! It *may* have a case reference number on the insides of the case back, but it looks like it is back set, so it won't be obvious to get to it.

Re: Le Coultre Wrist Alarm

They frequently did that re: the lume, so it's OK. It's definitely a USA market watch.

If it's really pristine and all original $1450 is OK, perhaps still a little high, any condition issues subtract vigorously from there.

Re: Jaeger Duo-Plan 18K 1933

Maybe $1200-1400. It's still and 18k Duoplan.

.pdf version of the book is tricky as people can just email it around to themselves.

Re: sweeping second hand for triple date

I'm, not aware of a part like this being available from any of the parts suppliers. So yes, that's probably the best bet.

Re: Help with ID. Vintage Jaeger Chronograph

The watch has definitely been restored. I do not like the unfrosted bridge texture on a frosted movement. So I'm not sure that's how it came originally.

Re: sweeping second hand for triple date

It's have to be a generic, should not be too hard to find a close match or off of a donor movment. It's not a part you will be able to find new.
