Re: Vintage JLC Memovox automatic alarm

For that period, the crowns would have been JL crowns. You can occasionally find them on eBay, but let me warn you, they're likely yo be at least $75/ea.

Re: Correct Box for 1968 Polaris?

I think that's passable. It's definite the right era for late 1960s boxes.

Re: Memovox : genuine watch?

To me, it looks like an American watch, with a refinished dial to make it look like a European one.

Re: E-859 Genuine or Fake

It might be cheaper to find a complete 815 or 825 movement than source the parts piecemeal. For example, clutch wheels (a rare part since they break all the time) are over $100 each when you can find them. I have a couple left but will only sell them in the context of a complete overhaul.

Re: Citizen 21J Japan very old and need some help!

Sorry, no idea without a photo. Most citizens are not collectible.

Re: E-859 Genuine or Fake

1) Looks like a repair mark
2) No, 'virtual' storefront only.

Re: Jaeger Lecoultre Watch Identification

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

Re: Parts or repair

That's a hard part to find as almost all the watches left out there, have that part in a broken state.

It was sort of under engineered from day one.
