Re: Can anyone help me identify this watch?

I don't have any model info if that's what your after. I may not even have one.

Re: 50's Rose Gold Gents JLC--help?

If the movement serial number begins with a 7, it dates to 1950/51. Looks like caliber P469/C you can verify that under the balance wheel. I don't have any model specific info.

Re: 50's Rose Gold Gents JLC--help?

To be precise, I'd need a shot of the movement and its serial number.

It is original, made for the USA market.

Re: Jaeger-LeCoultre Gubelin

Maybe try to get $800 and settle for less.

Re: Antique Elgin Gold Pocket Watch

I can do it, but we only do complete service jobs via mail order (it's a no store front operation). If it hasn't been serviced recently it's probably time to do it anyway, and the crystal would be a nominal charge if any.

Re: Jaeger-LeCoultre Gubelin

No it's still a decent watch, it's will be priced as a refinished dial. not an original dial, which is anywhere from 20-40% less.

Re: Futurematic - query about a dial

The U.S. dials were also Swiss made, only the cases were locally sourced, same with the U.K. the exception being steel cases which were Swiss made. I guess it's possible it's a UK variant, but until you see another like it, nothing is definitive. I've seen thousands of these at this point and that's...

Re: Jaeger-LeCoultre Gubelin

Hi, it's not a Reverso as those have a case that flips recto-verso.

For a watch with a Gubelin signed movement, I'd expect a Gubelin dial as well. Yours appears to have a dial refinished as a Jaeger-LeCoultre dial.

It's not the end of the world, but it's not original to the watch.

Re: Reverso Crown?

Yes, those were tiny.

I can only date pre-1975 watches.
