Jaeger Lecoultre Watch Identification

Postby Perks » Mon Aug 24, 2015 9:34 am

I've been trying to find some details of a watch that I purchased a little while ago and have come across this forum.

As a hobby I have taught myself watch repair and I get a lot of my watches of eBay. I purchased a collection of 8 watches for what I considered to be cheap at around £500. I have serviced/sold off most of them as I didn't have the room but I was interested in a Jaeger Lecoultre that was in there.

I believe it is a French market watch due to the "Jaeger Fab Suisse" written on the dial and also that a lot of the watches in the collection are, what I think, French based companies. The hairspring wasn't great and was beyond repair for me and I am in the middle of replacing it.

The only issues I have is that I cannot find anything about this watch. I believe it's an 11U movement but only from the photos I have seen and I also have no idea on a model (if the case is even correct) and the date. I've added some photos; I can get more if required.

If anyone could shed some light on the date, if the case is correct or not and also a rough value that would be fantastic.

Thanks in advanced

Chris

Also on another note, if you do know what this movement is does anyone know where I can get an escape wheel for this?

Thanks,

Chris

Escape wheels are very tricky on these as there are variants. You're probably going to have to count the teeth.
