Was this automatic movement made by JLC for Vacheron? | ||

It is the model, the 333 is stamped on the back in large numerals. It is an automatic from the eighties I believe. I have had it for years. It is an all 18kt bracelet and head. The head is relatively thin and the date is at nine. Years ago a watchmaker said it was a LeCoultre movement which Vacheron had contracted out to them. It was not marked LeCoultre however. | ||

If you have a movement shot, I can identify the underlying LeCoultre caliber IF it isn't too modern. If it's an auto from the 1980s and not an ultra thing, it's probably a LeCoultre 880 base. | ||

Zaf thank you but it has a bunch of little screws holding the back in place and I don't want to take it apart. I take it from what you say that it is likely a LeCoultre movement. What was the connection? |
